Issue 6
As the first all-female Calafia editorial board, the stories we were compelled to tell consistently highlighted the women around us and their experiences. Stemming from various communities, we wanted to acknowledge the lack of diversity in mainstream feminism and shed light on the issues that impact marginalized women.
When we initially drafted ideas for stories we wanted to tell, not only were all of our stories coming from a feministic point of view, but they were all ideas sprouting from our own experiences, good and bad, as a result of being young women. It was vital for us to share the stories of honorable women, so all the generations, young and old, can learn the narrative we have chosen to tell.
