YEAR OF THE TWO SIX: A Letter to 2026 From the Editor-in-Chief of FAYNC MAGAZINE

A Letter to 2026From the Editor-in-Chief of FAYNC MAGAZINE

To The FAYNC family,

As we step into 2026, the Year Of The Two Six....I want to pause, just for a moment, to acknowledge the road behind us and the vision unfolding ahead. The YEAR OF THE TWO SIX isn’t just a timestamp on the calendar; it’s a mindset. A marker of alignment, maturity, and movement with purpose.

Time moves fast. Culture moves even faster. But this year calls for intention.

FAYNC MAGAZINE has never been about chasing moments. In the Year Of The Two Six, that truth stands even stronger. We’ve always been about documenting culture, honoring creatives, and telling stories that live longer than a trend cycle. We believe in work that ages well, work that still feels honest long after the moment has passed. Every page, every visual, every collaboration has been rooted in intention. Because of that, what we’re building isn’t fleeting, it’s foundational you feel me.

Im a be one hundred with yall, 2025 challenged us to refine our voice.

The YEAR OF THE TWO SIX calls us to expand it, without diluting it.

This is the year we move deeper.

Deeper into art that tells the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. Deeper into music that feels like memory, healing, and lived experience. Deeper into fashion, film, faith, and expression that reflects where culture truly is, not just where it’s loudest.

The YEAR OF THE TWO SIX is about depth over noise. Substance over spectacle. It’s about honoring the roots while still pushing forward.

In this year, FAYNC Magazine commits to creating work that resonates, not just performs. We’re slowing down enough to get the story right. We’re building platforms that feel safe, bold, and necessary. In the YEAR OF THE TWO SIX, FAYNC exists as both a mirror and a messenger, reflecting culture while also shaping it.

Our commitment remains clear:

• Elevating overlooked and underrepresented voices

• Creating space for meaningful, layered storytelling

• Curating experiences, not just content

• Remaining fearless in our creative direction

• Moving with integrity, faith, and intention in everything we release

To the artists, writers, photographers, filmmakers, DJs, businesses, brands, designers, creatives and visionaries who continue to trust FAYNC Magazine with your work, thank you for real. In the YEAR OF THE TWO SIX, your creativity is the heartbeat of this magazine. You don’t just contribute, you help shape the future we’re building.

To our readers and supporters, you don’t simply consume FAYNC Magazine, you move with us. You grow with us. You believe with us. Especially in the YEAR OF THE TWO SIX, your support allows us to dream bigger, push further, and remain rooted in purpose even as culture shifts.

The Year Of The Two Six isn’t about doing more for the sake of it. It’s about doing what matters, with clarity, conviction, and care. It’s about legacy over metrics. Depth over speed. Meaning over moments.

Here’s to intentional creativity in the YEAR OF THE TWO SIX. Here’s to community that feels like family. Here’s to work that lingers and stories that leave a mark.

Welcome to the YEAR OF THE TWO SIX.

With vision and gratitude,
