A Brief Note From The Managing Editors:
Dear beloved readers,
This month we have prepared for you an issue of thoughtful and provocative pieces from each corner of the world. These pieces are centered around the theme “Through the Prism”. This phrase can take on several different meanings but the most pertinent one is the idea of shining a light on an issue to reveal a new side to the story; something unexpected, perhaps. Our writers and editors have been hard at work crafting articles that range in style from heated debates (both in person and online), to interviews, to personal reflections on our society’s most pressing issues.
We are very proud to present this issue to you. With it comes controversy, and we strongly encourage you to share your opinion through our comments section, or through face to face conversation. We deeply value your contributions.
Until next time,
Omar Farah and Anna Beebe
P.s. Exciting news! As we are graduating this year, we will passing the First Person torch on to Joyce Truong and Beccah Raphael, who we have the utmost faith in. We look forward to watching this project grow in their capable hands.
