But more than anything, this issue is about the power of the collective. In identifying our personal strengths, it is anchored in the knowledge that we are even stronger together. You will find that spirit of inclusivity on the cover: diverse portraiture of women of varying age, colour, creed, nationality and life experience, and of unquestionable inspiration. Some, I\u2019ve had the pleasure of meeting and enlisted personally for this issue, others I\u2019ve admired from afar for their commitment to a cause, their fearlessness in breaking barriers, or what they represent simply by being. These are our forces for change. And among all of these strong women on the cover, a mirror \u2013 a space for you, the reader, to see yourself. Because you, too, are part of this collective.<\/p>\n

There is one caveat for you to remember: this is a magazine. It\u2019s still a business, after all. I share that to manage expectations for you: there will be advertising sections that are requisite for every issue, so while I feel confident that you\u2019ll feel my thumbprint on most pages, please know that there are elements that just come with the territory. The overall sentiment I hope you\u2019ll find, however, will be one of positivity, kindness, humour and inclusivity.<\/p>\n

I was about five months pregnant when this process began, and by the time you hold this issue in your hands, my husband and I will be holding our three-month-old baby boy in ours. It\u2019s a very special time for me personally, on so many levels; working with Edward and his team, both during my pregnancy and my maternity leave, has played no small part in that joy \u2013 it has been a privilege to be welcomed and supported by this amazing team. To Edward, thank you for entrusting me with this. I am deeply honoured. To the women who have taken my aspirations for this issue and brought them to life by being a part of this time capsule, both on the cover and in-book, I am so grateful; you are inspirations to me and I\u2019m humbled by your support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"But more than anything, this issue is about the power of the collective.
