Director: Monica Kade
Monica Kade is a multi-tasker. She is the publisher of Mink Magazine and completed her Bachelor of Human Resource Management at Macquarie University. Monica is also an actor, having recently finished working on her 4th feature film. Monica is looking forward to her roles in future projects and making it in Hollywood!
Tired of reading the constant celebrity rumors in gossip magazines, Monica decided to create a magazine that was fresh, exciting and one that showcased and supported up and coming talent. Monica has a passion for providing people with a platform to express their creativity and unique nature, and because of this passion, Mink Potential, and Mink Magazine, were born.
Monica's aim is to not only satisfy the hunger for individuality (for herself and others), but assist others in opening up avenues for their lives and careers. Mink is mecca for emerging artists.
Monica's love 5am workouts at the gym, summer time and baked cheesecake!!

Editor: Rosanna Beatrice Stevens
According to her 92 year-old grandmother, Rosanna is a wonderful grandchild because she’s keeping the family tradition of writing alive and well. Having started penning creatively at a young age, Rosanna developed a keen interest in article writing and editing at twelve, when she began writing very important articles about The Saddle Club and horse riding camps for kids magazines. Nowadays, Rosanna aspires to become a novelist and Editor in Chief of American Vogue. She receives sick gratification from correcting those who are unable to string a sentence together properly.
Aside from her proclivity for collecting words, Rosanna plays piano and cello, horse rides competitively, eyes the catwalk for innovation, and travels almost as often and widely as she reads. She enjoys adventures, crunchy Pink Lady apples in autumn, unagi, the music of Elgar, Smetana and Rachmaninov, and the company of her animals.
International Music Writer: Sasha Reid
I live in London, England and have spent the past few years in the music industry working with signed and unsigned bands/artists. I brought the band Kasabian down from Leicester to London and worked with them until they got a record deal. I write cd reviews for a UK magazine. This year I spent six weeks in America (including a trip to SXSW in Austin, Texas) so I got a good chance to see the new up and coming bands. I am also writing a children’s storybook, which I hope to get published.
