ABOUT

Elmimag is an online magazine which I created and designed for a charity called Elays Network. The idea behind the magazine is to share young Somali people positive stories, with the aim to inspire others to achieve. I was working at Elays Network and pitched the idea and it started from there. Elmimag launched and after 6 months it has 60,000 views. Young people from all around the world sent in their stories, which went through editing and then was posted up. I was also invited to cover events and post up articles and images on the magazine. During the process of creating the magazine, I learnt a lot and picked up so many new skills and enhanced my previous skills. I managed it on my own and later created some volunteer intern roles for students.
The magazine is a success and our plan is to continue to grow it.
