Remmy Diagbare, publisher of Accomplish and Glamsquad and the pioneering editor of Vanguard Allure, takes a moment to reflect on the decades-long journey as Vanguard celebrates its 40th anniversary.
My time at this esteemed institution, from my early days as a journalist to my retirement in 2019, has been marked by profound experiences and a dedication to excellence that has shaped my career and the lives of many others.
The Pulse of Vanguard
From the outset, Vanguard’s newsroom was alive with an electrifying energy. Intense discussions, rigorous fact-checking, and a collective drive for truth were at the heart of our daily work. Working alongside some of journalism’s brightest talents, I constantly evolved and learned, shaping my skills and understanding of the craft.
A standout moment in my career was the launch of Allure, Vanguard’s fashion and lifestyle department. This initiative not only enhanced our brand’s prestige but also affirmed our position in the competitive media landscape.
A Learning Hub
Vanguard was more than just a workplace; it was a nurturing ground for growth. Seasoned journalists, including myself, were committed to mentoring the next generation. This environment of continuous learning helped mold countless careers, including my own.
