I grew up knowing about Jesus (my grandmother was very spiritual) but I didn’t actually become a born again Christian till I was about 20 or so. By then, I had made too many mistakes and had a lot of regrets. Knowing and loving the Lord has saved my life.

Tell us more about STREETBRAND?

STREETBRAND is a magazine for young people who are passionate about Jesus and want to know Him more. Written for both girls and guys, the magazine is just like any magazine you can find on the shelves but informed by Christian principles so we have lots of music, films and book reviews, Christian music interviews, fashion and style, relationships, career, and thought provoking pieces on current issues. STREETBRAND is tailored to both sexes so our SBgirl section keeps readers up to date with the latest fashion finds and guys can check out the SBguy section for top grooming secrets, gadget finds and more.  

What is the most valuable (or appreciated) compliment you have received about the magazine?

We have had some really positive feedback and it’s been so encouraging. The most encouraging emails we get comes from non Christian youths who tell us they would not normally pick up a Christian magazine but that this magazine STREETBRAND has really surprised, encouraged, motivated and inspired them. Hearing things like that makes us smile.

As an editor of a Christian magazine, what is the biggest challenge you face?

We have carved a very niche market for ourselves so I guess it’s marketing to that niche audience. It is very doable but it’s been a lot of work!

Where do you see STREETBRAND in the next five years?

I hope in five years we will be back in print and will be blanketing every school, college and university in the UK and abroad with the good news of Jesus through STREETBRAND Magazine. That would be awesome. I also pray that by then the parent company STREETBRAND Media would have developed into one of the top advertising, PR and media agencies.

You must be a really busy person with all the work you do, what keeps you going?

My family – I have a very considerate husband who also happens to be a youth pastor. My two lovely babies (and they’re really babies – both under two) keep me on my toes and fill my life with so much laughter.

What advice do you have for young people wanting to start out in the media business?

As with any industry, I would advice young people to get plenty of experience. The media industry is very competitive and having bags of experience under your belt gives you an advantage. Also you can never know enough so keep learning. Do lots of short courses; writing, photography, video editing – anything that will boost your talent and make employers seek you out.

To fulfil all He has ordained me to be.
