Dear Reader,

I'm thrilled to welcome you to the fourteenth issue of The Relatable Voice Magazine. Your steadfast support and enthusiasm mean the world to us, and we're profoundly grateful for your continued and passionate interest.

In this issue, we've crafted something truly special that I'm eager to share with you. Our cover star is none other than the remarkable NJ Ayuk, a visionary leader and author dedicated to empowering Africa.

We're also excited to take you on The BookFest Adventure! Dive into a world of authors, articles, literary insights, and, of course, a diverse selection of books to satisfy every taste.

As autumn leaves fall, we invite you on a delightful journey to New Zealand through the storytelling of our beloved Pat Backley, who will transport you to the enchanting landscapes of this beautiful country.

Meet Ellis Laks, a passionate soul whose work with animals has not only touched our hearts but also profoundly impacted the lives of countless creatures.

Additionally, you'll be inspired by the multitalented actress Jennifer Liebman as she shares her journey to the New York City theater stage.

Within these pages, you'll discover amazing articles, insightful interviews, and literary gems that will inspire and enlighten you, just as the temperature outside begins to cool and the colors of fall paint the world in a symphony of hues.

Thank you for being an integral part of our journey.

Lucia Matuonto
