We’ve been working on our publication and platform for almost a decade because we deeply believe that the world will be a far more empathetic and collaborative place if we all had the ability to know each other’s stories. The past decade has brought unimaginable challenges along the way, but we persevere because we believe this is mission worth never giving up on. We often are inspired by the folks we’ve featured and their commitment to their respective missions and so we asked some of them to talk to us about this very topic and have share some responses below.

My commitment to social justice advocacy and voter mobilization will never go away. I have had countless conversations with others about their opinions on voting, and their thoughts around the lack of results that come from civic engagement. I have worked every single election cycle since 2018, and in that time, I have seen more losses than wins, however, I’ve seen movement. Read more>>

I’m committed to not taking things personally. As I continue to grow and have my own human experience, I have more compassion for others.
