EDITOR ’ S LETTER

ISSUE 001 : ART IS EXPRESSION

As we prepare for the upcoming heat and craziness of the summer , we must not forget how much the pandemic affected us all . For more than two years , art has been the best medium to reflect our surroundings , and acknowledge the importance of expressing our deepest thoughts and feelings . Believing that this year , spring will finally allow us to flourish , we cannot forget about the tragic war in Ukraine . Therefore , we stand up , demonstrate , and protest . As we cannot stay indifferent , the cover stories of the first edition of Sincerely , Us celebrate the bravery of people who express their opposition to inflicting suffering and aggression . Our magazine represents the rebel in us and in our

interviewees . We hope that our work will inspire everyone to venture through new horizons and will let you speak out about what matters to you . We convey it in the word expression .

I am a 21-year-old journalist from London . I have a strong passion for writing about mental health , fashion , lifestyle and entertainment .
When I ’ m not writing articles or studying for my Journalism degree , you will almost always find me knitting and spending time with my family and friends .
My inspiration stems from underground art , be it the most intricate graffiti you ’ ll ever see , be it the spoken poetry that ’ ll echo in your head for days .
The projects I take on represent the
rebel within me , my dearest alter ego
that
takes
me
on
exciting
quests
every
day .
And
I
hope
that
my
work
inspires
everyone
to
venture
through
new
horizons ,
no
matter
what .
