Our past issues built upon our evolving traditions and explored our identities through new and reimagined narratives. In this issue, we set out to celebrate the connections that define our stories. We showcase stories that focus on the interconnectedness of our experiences to not only our communities and the broader universe, but also to ourselves. Our cover stars AGNEZ MO and James Reid emphasized the importance of starting with oneself, with MO sharing the importance of staying true to yourself while evolving, and Reid using music as a tool to understand himself to become a better person. This very essence of connection helps shed light on the internal and external, hidden and visible bonds that make our narratives and voices resonate universally.
