This literary magazine is for the kids whose names are mispronounced for weeks after the first day of classes. The kids who see themselves on TV as sidekicks and subplots but never as the main characters. The kids who are afraid to be who they are in their own home, knowing that if they spoke up they could be faced with judgement. The ones who wage internal battles every day, who are constantly told itÕs all in their head and that theyÕre just faking. We see you. We hear you. And we want your voices to be shared with the world. Children should not have to grow up ashamed of their identity because it doesnÕt fit what they see in the media, or feel like they have to follow a stereotype in order to fit in. We hope this magazine gives a voice to the silenced and lets people speak their truths about their experiences for the world to finally hear.
