When you lose all sense of self the bonds of a thousands chains will vanish. Lose yourself completely, return to the root of the root of your own soul.

Many of you might ask why I named this issue Evolution?

We have all come through almost three years of continuous change. My feeling is we have all come full circle in some kind of way in our evolutionary process. Some of us have lost, some gained all been affected both spiritually and/or emotionally in an exponential way. 

When I think of everything that this world has been going through and has survived I think of the world “Evolution.”

One moment I’m a person sitting at the Carlye with Jessica Kroll a publicist in New York City chatting about  and dreaming about telling great stories and working with creatives from all over the world. This has evolved into a reality. 

With dedication, hard work and long hours,  endless DMs, texts, emails, iChats and sticktoitiveness, I have become the Editor in Chief of a global publication with a beautiful growing family of creatives from all over the world. To say I am grateful is and understatement.  

This has indeed is an evolutionary process for me on all levels. 

I could never accomplished any of this without a dream and most of all the support of some of the finest teams and a forward thinking mind during a global pandemic crisis. 

I have always said that FADDY Magazine USA is about the creatives. Most of all holding everyone to the light. I want everyone to know who everyone is in my magazine I also want everyone to get recognition for their hard work. This is how it should be. The creatives should be at the forefront because without them there would be nothing. 

I give all the credit to the success of every issue to all the creatives who have helped me and hold my dreams to the light.
