It could never have been more welcome than W(proverbial) leaf and start over. As this issue was going to print, Ontario Premiere Kathleen Wynne announced an upcoming June election.

The birds reading this, the votes will have been tallied and Ontario may very well have a new mix are chirping, and the thermometer is reading temperatures that we are of leaders. not yet accustomed to due to our frigid winter. That iridescent feeling that Politics aside, in this June/July issue we bring you a new mix of our own. I’m pleased memories just need to be made can only mean one thing - the season is to introduce a young, burgeoning writer to our team of contributors—my nine-year- here and SHE online is here to tell you all about it this summer! old daughter Shakirah Zaidi. In this issue she authored a touching story of struggle and triumph titled In the Cove. I would also like to introduce my daughters, Amna and Fatima Zaidi, who contributed to their younger sister’s story by designing the accompanying artwork. Inspired by the gripping and at times disturbing documentaries EDITOR Blackfish and The Cove, In The Cove is a narrative about the plight of dolphins and S.M. Kamran Zaidi whales through the eyes of a child. Also this month, we’re delighted to offer SHE readers an exclusive interview with Monica Dogra. Best known in Canada for her role in Dhobi Ghat, Dogra is now set to launch her first musical solo effort. Executive Editor Priya Kumar catches up with the multifaceted artist as she prepares to travel the world on tour. In this issue we also take an in-depth look at London’s famed Vogue Festival with an exclusive talk titled “My Fashion Life” featuring womenswear designer Tory Burch; Osiyan Paris’ French-Gujarati designers Alpa and Mehul Patel; and last but far from least, our Beauty and Home sections featuring the products you know and love from CoverGirl to Febreze. Finally, I wanted to touch on the plight of Syrians and shed light on what you can do in association with SHE to offer a helping hand to those in need. Now that winter is officially a distant memory, we urge you to send cash donations, clothing, blankets and other useful products to the people affected by the crisis in Syria. We will be collecting your donations all summer long. Please send your gently used goods to: SHE Cares, Suite 202, 1999 Avenue Road, Toronto, M5M 4A5 or e-mail [email protected].
