THINKING HORIZONTALLY
When we TELL OUR OWN STORIES, we tell them with PASSION and LOVE. We tell them with SINCERITY and FAIRNESS.
We tell what is TRUE about us. We tell what is UNIQUE about us. We bear witness to our UNBOUNDED SPIRIT
SAFROI MAGAZINE
TELLING OUR OWN STORIES
If all the world is a stage, then our scripts are often written by the people around us ... By learning to recognise the scripts we have been assigned, we can decide to reject the narratives that do not suit us - and create our own destinies
- David Robson

CORRECT NARRATIVES OF AFRICA AND AFRICAN-BASED ISSUES
None but ourselves can free our minds – Bob Marley
It is the storyteller who makes us what we are, who creates history. The storyteller creates the memory that the survivors must have – otherwise their surviving will have no meaning. – Chinua Achebe
What make us different?
AUTHENTICITY AND ALTRUISM!
Safroi Magazine aims, through correct African narratives, to plant the seed of self-
confidence, self-love and love of neighbour, and self-dignity among people, especially Africans in diaspora, countering the prejudiced narratives about Africa and African based issues and offering the authentic narratives, thereby giving people a true sense of confidence, of identity and of orientation.
Safroi Magazine is also receptive to authentic and altruistic non African narratives, positioning itself as a place of encounter and dialogue between African cultures and ideas and non African cultures.
AFRICAN HISTORY AND LITERATURE
The COLLECTIVE SPIRIT of a PEOPLE is a VITAL FORCE in the PEOPLE'S march towards Survival and Development.
The COLLECTIVE SPIRIT of a PEOPLE is formed and nurtured by a COMMON IDENTITY.
The FORGETFULNESS of a PEOPLE'S COMMON IDENTITY makes the PEOPLE Vulnerable, Powerless and Victims of Forgotten-ness.
SAFROI MAGAZINE Awakens the COMMON IDENTITY of African Diaspora in Austria and Europe and seeks to Build Up the COLLECTIVE SPIRIT
through AUTHENTIC AFRICAN NARRATIVES.
So, LET'S ... SAFROI
KEEPING OUR DREAMS ALIVE
If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.
– Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
CREATING THE GROWTH MINDSET
The Future Belongs To Those Who Believe In The Beauty of Their Dreams. - Eleanor Roosevelt
SAFROI MAGAZINE seeks through positive narrarives to enable people to believe in the beauty of their dreams , and to give them VOICE
The truth is that believing that you can accomplish what you want to accomplish is one of the most important – perhaps the most important ingredient in the recipe of success
--James E Maddux
Words and narratives have influences on the mind. Positive narratives greatly influence the mind positively, while negative narratives do the opposite. SAFROI MAGAZINE counters prejudiced-narratives about Africa and African-based issues through authentic positive narratives to enable people to believe in themselves and in their dreams.
SELF - EXPRESSION

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you

SOLIDARITY IN CELEBRATIONS AND FESTIVITIES
The more You Praise and Celebrate your Life, the more there is Life to Celebrate - Oprah Winfrey
SAFROI MAGAZINE gives us updates on individual and communal events, festivities and celebrations in different African Communities in Austria and Europe
A man who calls his kinsmen to a feast does not do so to save them from starving. They all have food in their homes. When we gather together in the moonlit village ground, it is not because of the moon. Everyman can see it in his own compound. We come together because it is good for kinsmen to do so – Chinua Achebe
Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated
