WAM’s progress excites me, and I’m thrilled to celebrate the incredible work and landmark accomplishments of the team, especially our publisher Chris Meregini. His vision has launched WAM thus far, and he continues to make giant strides in the publishing industry with the highly professional and informative Western Africa Magazine platform. The quality and impactful journalism that the magazine has produced over the years is simply incredible. For fifteen years, WAM has pioneered well-researched stories about African perspectives, its leadership, development and the remarkable opportunities the continent has to offer, as with all significant milestones,
WAM’s 15th anniversary provides a perfect occasion to reflect, consolidate and build on the successes of the past and chart a course for the future. The beauty of the black race, as enshrined in the Western Africa Magazine, continues to give expression to the depth, and richness of West Africa’s cultural heritage.
A view of the pages of WAM will instantly transport you there, revealing the exciting moments and incisive contents captured purposefully to bring her esteemed readers up to date with a broad spectrum of coverage of News, Politics, Business, Trade, Education, Culture, Style, Health, Travel and Sports. More than just a magazine, it is a transparent platform chronicling the development of Africa in all its variations.
WAM is a news magazine that brings to her audience the most recent and refreshed news, covering almost every happening and important development trending in the region. It has been one of the most authoritative and informative guides to what is happening in current affairs, politics, business, health, science and entertainment for the past 15 years. Every issue delivers a deeper understanding of a developing Africa and a changing world as well.
WAM believes that Africa is certainly the land of hope in all expectations and therefore goes the extra mile in investigating and reporting on issues that motivate and attract desirable change and development in Africa by releasing viable information that would motivate the positive transformation of Africa. Western Africa Magazine (WAM) also stands out among others with her outstanding public presentations, notably the 2007 African Diaspora Foundation (ADF) Peace Leadership Conference in Los Angeles – USA; the 2007 African Union Conference in Cairo – Egypt; 2007 WAM launching in Abia State – Nigeria; 2006, 2007, 2008 Television presentation on Love World TV and BEN TV UK; to mention but a few! The Western African Magazine brings her audience to the latest headlines, opinions, political news, business reports, World news, African news, Politics/Opinion, Business / Finance, Trade news, Style / Fashion, Culture / Heritage, Education / Training, Health, Travel and Sports as well as a variety of icons across Africa and the world at large.
The magazine represents one of the most authoritative news media available on all platforms for the political, business, professional and broader middle classes while serving as the converging point of new ideas, culture and technology for the millennials. The 15th anniversary will be a great avenue to celebrate the amazing WAM brand. Even in the educational sector, WAM has been a lively and vibrant voice. Over the years, the most singular challenge, especially for parents and guardians from abroad, is how to find the right school for their young ones. WAM has introduced a column to search and publish regular answers to those basic guides on how to find the right school in response to the piles of inquiries and key questions from esteemed readers, especially from Africa. What a feat!
Over the past 15 years, the magazine played a major role in changing the African narrative where it displayed the continent for the present and future for the global stage. Western African Magazine does an impressive job bringing the voice of Africa’s community to the world. Its content is ever relevant because it challenges stereotypes and tells the African story from an African perspective. The wider world needs more of those amazing stories coming out from the continent to inspire the young generation of leaders and disparage racist movements. For instance, in her tradition, WAM’s search for a deserving personality for the Women’s Forum entailed journeying to Liberia and Washington, USA, to the doorsteps of Dr. Dawn Cooper Barnes, the outgoing Ambassador of Liberia to Washington for an exclusive interview.
Over the past decade and a half, the African continent has sprung up with inspiring, all-around progress and growth despite the global pandemic. WAM continues to aflame the hope of Africans by dishing out amazing success stories, which proves to us that progress is possible and attainable, and the future for Africa looks brighter than ever. I believe this magazine’s 15th anniversary is a great opportunity to use our knowledge to help accelerate progress and solutions on critical issues facing the Black race.
I was introduced to the already thriving magazine by my adviser Alma Nimley in 2010. Nimely knew as an independent publisher working in New York City, I could be a great contributor to WAM and bring in fresh ideas. She introduced me to WAM’s New York correspondent Bennett Yalartai, who agreed that my skills would benefit the publication. I was brought onto the team as the United Nations correspondent and USA East Coast distributor. I was given special press access and attended events, meetings and conferences. It has been an amazing experience getting to speak with and interview world leaders and learn more about world issues. Contributing to the magazine gave me an important role in the African and African American communities. Reporting on the issues most important to the development and survival of a people with an immensely deep and complicated history but also a very eclectic contemporary unfolding that has generational implications that all parties around the world should be following closely, put me in a realm of serious and meaningful journalism.
Western African Magazine is an incredibly important publication that is on the frontline of the news landscape and always presents unparalleled in-depth insights on the global operating atmosphere for politics, business, culture and trade, et cetera. The excellent standards of journalism allowed me to spread my wings beyond my normal scope of arts, entertainment, and healthy lifestyles. It has been an incredible learning experience, as I have learned so much about the world and also deepened my reporting, writing and publishing skills. I began to see WAM in different areas around NYC and felt proud that my work was effective: people were purchasing and reading the publication to get this most important information.
