✨New Magazine Issue Alert✨ Our "Truth" issue, the last print magazine we'll release before the 2024 presidential election, puts the responsibility of both telling the truth and upholding it squarely in the realm of the collective. As we face a presidential contest that again includes a candidate who intentionally weaponizes misinformation, it's critical to hone our ability to recognize the truth. This is why this issue closes with an insightful game about how we can better differentiate between fact and fiction. Subscribe to receive your own copy in the mail. Cover Model: Ameirah Neal🌸
