10 Years of #SupportTheLocal [Happy Anniversary to CopyWrite Magazine]
/
“This was never the plan, but clearly it was the purpose.” - Lexi
This July [15th] we celebrate 10 years in the game [& 8 years in business] at CopyWrite Magazine. This year we reflect upon our communal impact, our advocacy in the creative industries and our dedication to changing the narrative in the most unapologetic way. We hope that this 10 years inspires other voices to rise up and create their own legacies of service. We all have a super power, ours just happens to be #AllThingsUrban. As always, thank you for helping us #SupportTheLocal. Without our community, there is no us.
A Poetic Note From The Editor
Imagine not having vision.
Imagine not knowing how to feed inspiration.
For me it's unimaginable.
Because every time there was hesitation I imagined the regret of not attempting to do what was called to me. An unavoidable life of lifestyles.
And the snags were rich.
Rich of lessons that needed to be learned and pain that fueled every great fire.
My inspiration was dedicated to survival and stability in the most tumultuous terrain and paths least traveled
And here we are. 10 years later a vision in my own little hell like heaven. It's warm and chilly all at the same time. An uncomfortable comfort I have mastered. This space was meant for me.
A Reminder of resilience, joy, and so much life lived. I made myself a home to share with the unhoused souls. How fuckin ironic.
And for all those who walked the path even if they strayed away or were left to take a different road or could only travel parallel, you are here as inspiration, clarity in the blur of time, grounding every decision in fact filled with emotion. You are the nuance of a narrative indeed changed.
Let us all celebrate the win.
