Double Cover Issue
Together We Soar !
Celebrating 10 Years Of Planet Africa Magazine
There's an African proverb that says, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." These simple words overflow with wisdom and truth. The release of this edition marks the 10th Anniversary of Planet Africa Magazine! The team and I are proud of this milestone, and we couldn't have done it without you - our readers, our dear friends. It has truly been an awesome journey since our inaugural issue, which was published back in October 2005! I am delighted by the opportunity the Editorial Board has accorded to my wife and associate Patricia Bebia Mawa, who has been the Editorial Director of this publication from the beginning. In addition to running a cutting-edge publishing, broadcast, marketing and event management organization, we are now set to launch a 24-hour television channel, having recently acquired Afroglobal Television, where I had been a shareholder as well. We are also delighted to share profiles of recipients of the 2015 Planet Africa Awards. It is an honour to channel our collective pride in the accomplishments of our distinguished recipients. Categories include Professional Excellence, Enterprise, Leadership, Entertainment, Nelson Mandela Humanitarian Award, Volunteer, Media, Renaissance, Heritage, Development, Science & Technology, Marcus Garvey Memorial Award, Rising Star, Academics, Visionary and Lifetime Achievements. Exemplary role models, we honour them for making a profound difference in the lives of our people. We present talented Fashion Designer Adebayo Jones' spectacular designs as showcased at the 2015 African Fashion Week in Toronto. In our spotlight is 'Empire' star Taraji P. Henson. We share the empowering story of US President Barack Obama's journey to Kenya, his Fatherland. We are also pleased to feature Cross River State Governor Professor Ben Ayade's Inauguration. We examine the work of Cuso International, along with the strides that the development organization is making to impact lives in Calabar, Nigeria and other places of the world. We present the courtship and marriage of Osho and Alan Edison, plus beauty, fitness, food, entrepreneurship, books, inspirational stories and much more. The universal law of going far together pertains to all facets of life. These include work, school, home and others. We need to be united in mind and purpose more than ever before. Thanks to everyone who has included our magazine in their lives, especially those who have read each issue cover to cover. We sincerely appreciate our advertisers, subscribers, photographers, writers and other contributors. We look forward to a brighter future of inspiration and entertainment, laid out for you on the pages of Planet Africa, other publications, along with all of our other media platforms. God bless Africa and the Diaspora. Moses A. Mawa Chairman & Publisher
