New York, NY- April 4, 2012- On March 30, 2012,  the premier cover of F2FA Magazine was unveiled at the grand launch celebration in New York City.

With a cover story themed “Young, Successful, and African in Hollywood,” the issue explores how the brothers are using their platform to re-brand Africa.

“In the premier issue of F2FA Magazine we explore the role of the youth in the realization of the new Africa. The story of the boys not only makes us optimistic about the future of Africa, but also affirms that the new generation of young Africans will precipitate the idea of the African Renaissance,” says Editor-At-Large, Sandra Appiah.
