EDITOR’S LETTER
VEHICLES OF THE SOUL • The creative minds behind this issue share the lyrics that solder their spirit, and the melodies that tether them to a moment.
ADIT PRISCILLA • Don’t mistake Adit Priscilla’s soft-spoken nature for ambivalence – the South Sudan-born, London-based model knows exactly what she wants, and she’s ready to take it all in her stride. A big dreamer with an even bigger heart, she’s here to manifest her desires – and there isn’t a dream too large. She won’t tax her life with your negativity, in fact she’ll take your expectations and bench them, always ready to do things her way. No stranger to international runways, and a favourite of Chanel, Priscilla’s life might not look like it did two years ago. But while the distance between her and home might be far, she’s grounded in her faith and family, ready to take on the next challenge, whatever form it may take. You’re welcome to join her for the journey – but you’ll need to leave your doubts at the door.
