Welcome to our seventh issue, Emergence! While contemplating the theme, we came across Emergence, as a nod to the changing normality of our culture and sense of self. Having spent the better part of the past two years on our own during this pandemic, we wanted to center on the act of self-reflection. It is the exploration of the many facets of our identities, how they merge together to form a complex and wonderful person, and the ways in which we strive to understand ourselves and each other. What does it mean to emerge, to grow from and honor our past experiences? What parts of ourselves are core to our identities? How do we harmonize our multiple selves to create the Self? What does it mean to be You?
