"The function, the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining, over and over again, your reason for being." Toni Morrison ⚡ this feels just as timely as it ever was. I personally needed this reminder. Xx Katie

One thing I know I'll do as I move forward with ESJ, is plant my feet more solidly on the vision of what I wish to see the magazine and platform become. Even with this year's unexpectedness, I wish I would've created some sort of visual guide for the [few] things I knew I could control. I'm getting to that, making an actual vision guide or board for ESJ, as soon as I get the last written pieces off for design and layout for print Issue No. 7. 😊 Thank you all for your love, support, and patience this year. I'll be back next week with updates on the print mag and hopefully with some news on where we're going from here.

For those who have pre-ordered print Issue No. 7, know that we are working hard to finish this up for you and you'll have your copy soon. We're a small team, it's just me and couple of wonderful independent creatives adding the finishing touches. We're in the final stretch, but I promise it's worth the wait! xx Katie

"Thanksgiving is steeped in America’s history of genocide and theft. The weekend of frenzied consumerism that follows further contributes to issues of racism and classism in this country. Join us in a conversation exploring why reparations and a redistribution of funds for Black and Indigenous led organizations is necessary. We will discuss what it means to dismantle the systems of oppression America has been built on."
This Friday at 1 p.m. CDT, join us for the 'Deconstructing America's History and Future' panel.
