A Note from Gina

Every issue of this magazine begins the same way: a student decides that something they lived through is worth writing down, and a teacher decides it is worth sending on. Everything you read here arrived that way.

We publish student work as it is submitted through the EmpowerLit Schools platform. Nothing here is invented, and nothing is written on a student's behalf.

Read slowly. These voices did not write to be impressive. They wrote to be counted.
