Editors Note

WELCOME

As I sit in front my unbalanced PC desk, humbled to be an editor of a magazine, regardless of whether it’s for upcoming personalities that very few people know of and the fact that some are not even recognized at all- I feel a rush of victory and some excitement through my veins with a reminder that this is some kind of an achievement as I have grown up dreaming of being recognized as a writer, though in my anticipation I was to be a fiction writer instead… I meet with a realization that the future is truly unpredictable and it’s on a day like this that I really understand the true meaning of the song by Tracy Chapman which says, “The picture makes a promise but the flesh lets it be broken.” However, in my case the picture made a promise but the flesh let it be twisted rather than broken, because even though I dreamt of being a fiction writer, I am here writing for a mag so I’m actually living my dream though it’s not precisely what I had hoped I would achieve, the excitement is equal to that which I would feel had I been writing my fiction for professional publication such as this one. And this tells me one thing… I could be a few steps from achieving that dream.

I always knew that empowering others and promoting them comes with a beautiful feeling, little did I know that it also brings such an excitement and inspiration. The time I spent writing these upcoming stars’ profiles had been of immense joy. An opportunity to write about ambitious personalities who share one goal, to live a dream- is a greatest blessing as it not only inspires but motivates me to realize that no matter how long life could have sent us from pillar to coast, serving us adversities instead of success while we try everything and even risk our lives and give up some of the most important aspects of our lives to pursue our dreams- we should never give up but rather let the universal creator to do as should be done. As it’s also been said many times that patience is virtue and good things come to those who wait.

Looking ahead I see myself priding in Upcoming Mag for many things from giving me an opportunity to edit their content and also going out of their way to promote these talented stars that are full of dreams and hopes, burning with ambition and passion for their different crafts, eager to shine and bring about brighter light into the entertainment industry. Otherwise as you, the readers have raised a concern in how interviews have been conducted, I hope that we have met your expectations or are a little close to it and in that case I urge that you give some feedback on the interviews and anything else you might not be happy with as this mag is not only for us and the variety of featured personalities, but you too and it is definitely through you that we can wake to see this digital publication prosper even into the global space even expand into a televised medium. With lots of appreciation and love to you all, I look forward to the development of Upcoming Mag and featured personalities, as well as your engagement in order for Upcoming Mag and to reach its maximum growth and prosperity.

Yours with love, Lieketseng Lecheko
