Meet Jack, Yero and Leo, our new Rife magazine in-house content creators.

Hello guys, take a seat, get to work, we got a lot of content to create.

Every six months, we bid fare-thee-well to our team of in-house journalists and watch as they walk off into the sunset, probably to become world-beating, award-winning, generation-defining creatives. Luckily, to soothe our sadness at having to say goodbye, we welcome in a new team. So, welcome, welcome and welcome some more to our new guys, the wonderful and passionate Yero, the articulate and sharp Leo and the self-taught wünderkind Jack. Hello guys, take a seat, get to work, we got a lot of content to create.

Next week, they’ll be telling you about themselves in video form. In the meantime, here’s some quick words about what they’re excited about and a link to a previous piece they’re super-proud of:

Jack Edwards

‘Before coming to Rife, I’d just graduated from university, was involved in working as a camera operator on the PWA Windsurfing World Tour which involved filming in other countries. I hope to bring my experiences to the magazine and help teach others about the importance of film and how now it is more accessible than ever. In turn I hope to learn more about journalism and creative writing in regards to social issues.’

‘Bi-Linear is a collaborative project put together by filmmakers, dancers and a fashion designer.

An exploration into anatomy, body and movement…

The P R O J E C T: wearing a second skin, create a series of movements to see where the paint will crack, stress lines, creating a Raku cracking effect. With the notion that beauty comes from movement, and living, not being too precious, celebrating the beauty of imperfection… something raw, almost primal…’

Yero Timi-Biu

‘Prior to working at Rife (and running off to NYC), I was creating content for media companies in London. I see Rife as an inclusive community for lots of young voices to be heard, and a chance to use an online platform as a forum where ideas can be shared.’

‘”On Your Bike” was my first producing project post-graduation. I spent such a long time researching facts and interviewing the cast. I was working really long hours at work, and making and editing the content on evenings and weekends. My manager missed the screening of the documentary to go to a book signing of an author we both admired. It turns out this author was going to inspire me to work even harder.’

Leo Shire (aka LJ Shire)

‘Before Rife I was studying, writing and trying to get my writing read. Rife is cool because it creates content for young people by young people and I hope interning at Rife will give me hands on media experience in a fun and exciting way. My future self will probably still be writing and studying, but ideally she’ll be doing all of that whilst managing a publishing company that specialises in diverse books for children in young adults.’

‘Writing an article on being mixed race was important to me because I didn’t feel like my experiences as a mixed race person were ever mirrored in the media.’

So, there you have it… welcome to Jack, Yero and Leo. The next six months belong to you.
