VOLUME 1 Martia, TOLD YOU SO ISSUE 4 November, 2013
Letter From The Editor
Hey readers,
Often times we put our dreams on hold to work for the man every day, but do we ever really live? I ask myself this question a lot. With so much social media, wouldn’t one assume that the chances at stardom are a lot greater than what they used to be? But after careful consideration, I realized it comes down to how hard one is really willing to work to make their dreams a reality.
Every other month I spend time interviewing undiscovered artists, designers, musicians, volunteers, and business owners. I find it interesting that so much talent goes unrecognized due to lack of connects; it’s about who you know, right? Not. I disagree. It’s about your drive, your will, and your determination to be more than a worker for the next man’s dream.
We all need motivation and reassurance that chasing a dream is worth it, and that yes, we too can make it. I use my magazine as just that—a way to give the undiscovered an opportunity to showcase their talents. If they are not featured outside of Martia' Told You So, at least they earned a feature in this magazine for a chance, a shot, and an opportunity to promote themselves. We all start from somewhere. Where’s your start?
