Dear colleagues and members, I am so proud to release this issue curated and edited by Rochelle Potkar. The fact that our content page is now a double-bar is testimony to how far we’ve come from having floated our first issue in Jan 2017, which Rochelle and I filled up with our own writing to make up for content. Jessica Faleiro joins us as commission editor as of this issue and has already brought a new vitality to the journal. Please do not miss perusing this issue which features regional, national and international writers.
