The Relatable Voice Magazine - Issue 19, March 2024

Dear Reader, Welcome to the ninetieth issue of The Relatable Voice Magazine! March is a month of transition and transformation, marking the end of winter and the beginning of a new season filled with the promise of growth and renewal. There are several awareness celebrations in March — including Disability Awareness Month, National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, Women's History Month, and National Reading Month. We are very pleased to feature Leland Mergillano on the cover. Leland is a talented and dedicated actor who has appeared in over 15 film projects in the last two-and-a-half years! We hope you enjoy exploring the beautiful landscapes of New Zealand through the eyes of Pat Backley, a British author and our frequent contributor who calls New Zealand home. As we raise awareness about important themes, we have great articles from Jason Burke, Heather Hancock, and Vivien Schapera, as well as exclusive interviews with the strong girl Ashlynne Van Wyk and the film director Dr. Kamran Qureshi. Additionally, you'll find many other articles and interviews from talented creatives. Thank you for supporting our community! Happy spring and safe travels! Lucia Matuonto Chief Editor and Creator of “The Relatable Voice” podcast & magazine
