Welcome to our first issue of 2026, a year we are opening with intention, courage, and the quiet confidence that comes with beginning again. This edition is an ode to the art of new beginnings, not the rushed kind, but the deliberate ones that are rooted in self awareness and truth.
Gracing our cover is Sade Adu, a woman whose life and artistry remind us that reinvention does not have to be loud to be powerful. Her story sets the tone for this issue, one that honours patience, depth, and the beauty of moving at your own pace.
Across these pages, we explore fresh starts in love, work, wellness, creativity, and purpose. From reflective Find Her Light pieces to thoughtful conversations on identity, culture, and growth, this issue invites you to begin again without apology.
As you turn these pages, may you feel permission to release what no longer fits and to step forward gently, boldly, and fully yourself. New beginnings are not about becoming someone else, but about returning home to who you have always been.
