Behind the scene

“The reason why the WMA VOICE Magazine exists is to show that Malayalee Canadians have so much to offer to each other and to our new home – Canada. We’re more than just what people see on the surface. We have great insights that we can share.”

Several months before this magazine came to be, I talked to a friend about my idea of creating a magazine that would share insights and ideas that people will find useful.
I specifically wanted to focus on the Malayalee Canadian community.
His response was short and disappointingly cold. “Why?”

What my friend didn’t realize was that his simple answer (or question rather) to my idea created a flurry of mental activity that made me reach deep into my mind.
It forced me to clarify my reasons for this magazine… Why should this magazine exist? What is its purpose? Is it the advertising income? Is it to gain personal fame? Or is there more to it?

The reason why the WMA VOICE Magazine exists is to show that Malayalees have so much to offer to each other and to our new home – Canada. We’re more than just what people see on the surface. We have great insights that we can share. Our collective knowledge, experience and ideas can positively impact Canada. We are a community of educated, talented, resilient, and hard-working individuals.

This magazine exists to serve as a mirror of who Malayalees are and what we bring to the table.

It’s a reminder of our wonderful Kerala culture and our great potential as a people. It’s the compilation of all the insights of Malayalees.
