Tap magazine issue 10

In his lyrics, Stonebwoy has remained brave in envisaging greatness for himself, and gone on to prove it: “If I die today, I’m a hero”, “Like a diamond from the dust, I knew my star will shine”, “whether alive or dead, my name shall forever remain”. Tonight, in the course of our discourse, he proclaims yet another: “Reggae music will never be mentioned without my name”. As an intimate witness to his phenomenal journey thus far, I wouldn’t dare you to bet against him. APRIL 2018 | TAP MAGAZINE

On the cover of this landmark issue is Ilwad Elman who is one of the most important leaders of our time. Ilwad grew up like an “average” girl in peaceful Canada, but at 19 heard the call to go back to her native Somalia to work fearlessly for peace, equality and economic empowerment in a nation still struggling with Al-Shabab, patriarchal attitudes, and gender-based violence. Eight years later, she has helped bring about unprecedented legal and societal changes while serving as a director at the Elman Peace & Human right Centre, Mogadishu. Ilwad also serves as a UN Peacebuilding Fund advisor. This Issue is dedicated to African youths - Especially to those living in the diaspora. Please read/listen to Ilwad’s story, and never forget that you are important. Or doubt that you are POWERFUL.
