Hello!
Magazine fanatics now have a rather rare, yet distinctively stimulating option when filtering indundated magazine stands. Face2face
Africa, a young New York based media company is tackling the
controversial issue of race relations with their latest venture, F2FA
Magazine. The company was founded less than two years ago by two young
African professionals who as a result of rather grueling experiences,
wanted to help rebrand the image of Africa while mending race relations,
especially within the pan-African community at large.
“To
grow up ashamed of who you are or your background is the most self
inflicting damage that anybody could do to themselves. This was my
story, and what we seek to do is to change that story for somebody
else,” said Editor-in-Chief Sandra Appiah.
Last
year, Face2face Africa launched a print magazine division and garnered a
lot of interest in their mission to provide a positive and influential
platform for Africa’s success stories. The maiden issue of F2FA was
released last week and has received great reviews, including being
called “The Modern Day Vanity Fair of African Affairs.”
“F2FA
is here at the perfect time because the world is slowly beginning to
see the other side of Africa that has been hidden for so long. We are
only here to facilitate the process by filling the void of a quality and
soulful magazine that will lead the way in progressive thoughts on the
continent,” said CEO Isaac Boateng.
F2FA
brings something distinctive and unrepentant to the magazine industry.
The maiden issue features Kwame Boateng, Kofi Siriboe, and Kwesi Boakye,
three young Ghanaian actors and brothers who are making a remarkable
splash in the Hollywood scene. The magazine also redefines African
beauty, highlights metropolitan African cities, and rebrands Africa by
seamlessly merging “old Africa” with “new Africa” through first-person
essays and articles that reflect on politics, entertainment, lifestyle,
empowerment, fashion and more.
F2FA
will host a special release celebration at the Empire State Building on
Jan 11, 2013 and in Hollywood, Los Angeles on February 1, 2013.
