the last word
Publisher’s Note
if
iF Magazine is approaching its
third year as one of Houston’s
go-to publications for news
and information about our
vibrant international com-
munities. To succeed, despite
the many obstacles and chal-
lenges ahead, we need to not
only have a unique vision, but
also be relentlessly devoted
to it. We certainly have suffered many set backs
along the way, however, despite it all we should
remember it’s the hard work and dedication that
wins the day!
To do that, we must look at our strengths and
weaknesses objectively and deliver the content
our readers have grown to expect — now and
in the future.
Which brings me to our hard working team of
photographers, graphic artist, writers and sales
who have shown as much ambition, tenacity and
passion as anyone to change the world though
our unique publication that reaches the entire
Houston area’s international community!
50 iF Magazine | November 2018
We’ve had the honor and pleasure of inter-
viewing The Honorable Tomas Dickens Consul
General of the Republic of Equatorial Guinea
who is on the cover page of this issue. The inter-
view was a delight to conduct and I completely
understand why this extremely intelligent dip-
lomat was chosen to represent his country.
Also, we had a great time covering the 50th Ju-
bilee Anniversary Independence celebration for
Equatorial Guinea.
I’m looking forward to visiting the West Central
African nation someday … it is clearly on my
bucket list!
And as always, thank you for your readership!
