Six Years Strong: Celebrating the 40th Issue of Where It Begins
Time truly flies when you’re chasing dreams and bringing them to life. Six years ago, I embarked on a journey that started as a passion project—a magazine I lovingly named Where It Begins. It was created to inspire, to uplift, and to share stories that connect us all. And here we are, six years later, celebrating a milestone that fills my heart with pride: the release of our 40th issue!
This issue is particularly special, as it features the incredible Nef gracing the cover. Nef embodies everything this magazine stands for: talent, determination, and the courage to turn dreams into reality. But Nef isn’t the only star shining in this edition. It’s packed with features on extraordinary individuals who remind us that no dream is too big and no goal is out of reach.
The theme of this issue, Dream, Believe, Achieve, couldn’t be more fitting. It’s a mantra I’ve lived by throughout this journey, and it’s a message I want to pass on to every reader. Over the years, Where It Begins has showcased a diverse range of talents—from artists and entrepreneurs to athletes and community leaders—each with their own unique story of perseverance and success.
Looking back, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude for every person who has trusted me to share their journey, every reader who has flipped through the pages, and every supporter who believed in this vision. Creating Where It Begins has been more than just publishing a magazine; it’s been about building a community where inspiration flows freely and dreams find a starting point.
As we celebrate this milestone, I’m reminded that this is just the beginning. There are more stories to tell, more talents to highlight, and more dreams to champion. To everyone reading this, let this issue serve as a reminder: If you dare to dream, believe in your potential, and work tirelessly toward your goals, anything is possible.
Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Here’s to six years, 40 issues, and countless dreams coming true. Together, let’s continue to dream, believe, and achieve!
Six years ago, I embarked on a journey to create something that resonated with people on a deeper level. That journey led to Where It Begins magazine—a platform to share stories, celebrate journeys, and uplift voices from all walks of life. It’s been an incredible ride, and here I am, reflecting on my 34th issue, a milestone that fills me with immense pride and gratitude.
This latest edition is particularly special because it features none other than Amina Buddafly on the cover. Amina is a powerhouse of talent, known for her beautiful voice, soul-stirring music, and unapologetic authenticity. In our exclusive feature, she opens up about her musical journey, her evolution as an artist, and what inspires her to keep creating. Her story is one of resilience, passion, and staying true to oneself—exactly the kind of journey Where It Begins strives to highlight.
But Amina isn’t the only star of this issue. I’m thrilled to spotlight some extraordinary talent that truly embodies creativity and ambition. This magazine is about more than just showcasing accomplishments; it’s about diving into the heart of what drives people, uncovering their stories, and sharing them with the world.
Over these six years and 34 issues, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with incredible individuals—singers, actors, authors, entrepreneurs, and everyday people with extraordinary stories. Each issue feels like a piece of my heart, a reflection of the belief that everyone’s story matters and deserves to be told.
This journey hasn’t been easy, but it’s been worth every late night, every deadline, and every challenge. From the very first issue to now, Where It Begins has grown, evolved, and stayed true to its mission: to inspire, inform, and uplift.
As I turn the page to this new chapter, I’m excited about what’s to come. Thank you to every reader, supporter, and contributor who has been part of this journey. Here’s to celebrating the power of storytelling, one issue at a time.
