Every time someone meets me for the first time (without having known me off social media already), they are always almost shocked that I am not as fashionable as they imagined the “editor” of Monochrome Magazine would be. Someone once actually said “I thought you’d be like a Leah Misika.” 

Summer bodies are made in winter. That’s what they said. This is why we dedicated our May issue to reminding us of what we should be getting up to this winter, which is getting/staying fit.

Being a mother is considered one of the most rewarding full-time jobs one can ever “sign up” for.  For others, it happens completely planned and anticipated, for others it happens unexpectedly and for others, life hands them the job. Regardless of how you come to experience it, one thing for sure is that it’s a blessing to be part of the journey of raising and shaping another person’s life. But make no mistake; it is also one of the most taxing jobs. Every woman is genetically designed to conceive and give birth but not every woman can be a mother. So one must never underestimate the sacrifice anyone makes when they embark on this journey.

We dedicated the month of March to Feminism.
