The KOL Social Magazine has announced its launch. Led by publishing editor Marcia Degia, the monthly magazine provides a fresh, smart take on beauty, fashion, culture, lifestyle and personalities, featuring some of the industry’s best writers and photographers. Aimed primarily at people of colour, it will be distributed on the first Wednesday of every month.

The launch issue features diverse content, including an in-depth guide to buying foundation for the many different skin tones, recommendations of cultural events around the capital during Black History Month and an interview with breakdancing magician Richard Essien aka Magical Bones.

The magazine also features a Diversity Groups Directory, listing a wide range of small businesses within the communities, from beauty and hair products to job recruitment, auto services and IT services.

Marcia Degia, The KOL Social publishing editor, says: “There are a lot of unsung heroes within the communities and it is important that we support independent businesses and assist them in reaching a wider audience”.
