BRAG has been quite the ride. A ride defined by sheer will, as well as by a passionate team of editors, artists, and contributors. The aim of BRAG has always been to uplift the voices within our pages, regardless of background, age, or position. Our primary concern has been sourcing works of outstanding quality, and this journey has taken us as far east as Delhi, and as far west as San Francisco. We can’t wait to open for BRAG IV. We’ve got so much planned. Thank you, from all of us, for your support. You are how this journey continues.
