New Horizon
There will come a time in one’s life that one is tested in various ways – big or small. Some may seem insignificant that the attention to the test is also insignificant; and some may be extremely overwhelming that we are thrown for a loop. We agonize while we go through the ringer; despite doing all that we can to be good, to be successful and most importantly to be a great asset to our community. With heads in our hands, we ask why?
What did we do to deserve the experience? What horrible karma did we create to hit us like a heavy ton of bricks? We hide and wallow in despair, crying our eyes out until we can cry no more. It is not easy to recover from such hard hitting experiences but one thing is for sure, we can come out stronger. Every experience we go through is a lesson to be learned so that if we do go through similar experiences, we are able to handle the situations from a different and new point of view; from a new platform. As we say, we are students continuously learning and growing as we go through the school of life. One of the greatest things we can do for ourselves is to learn from every single experience and choose what to do with them. We can transform even the smallest experiences into lessons that will drive us to become better at everything undertaken in the future. You, too, can learn from your experiences and, in so doing, benefit tremendously. Every experience no matter how trivial, offers us a chance to learn, start anew when and where necessary in order to achieve all that we have set out to achieve.
New Horizon is the theme of the 13th Issue of AfroStyle Magazine that features our very first (1st) male cover model...so proud! In this issue, we interview award winning South African singer Lira, renowned organization Indego Africa’s CEO Karen Yelick and Oscar nominated film and documentary director Hubert Sauper. We focus on Istanbul in Turkey for our AfroTravel segment and feature amazing spreads from the Philippines, India, Italy and USA- with our AfroStreet spread featuring Lira as our model.
