InQluded - A literary magazine by and for Queer, Trans, Intersex, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color Youth

How's this for an amazing mission statement?

TO CREATE A YOUTH-LED SAFE SPACE THAT HONORS AND CELEBRATES THE NARRATIVES OF UNDERREPRESENTED VOICES OF QTIBIPOC YOUTH. TO SUPPORT AND RESPECT YOUTH AS THEY BEGIN TO CREATE A WORLD WHERE THEY ARE AUTHENTICALLY REPRESENTED. TO EMPOWER, INSPIRE AND CULTIVATE NEW GENERATIONS OF CREATIVES.

There are four issues out so far:

The issues include poetry, visual art, nonfiction, and fiction, and they've been featured by Lambda Literary and Publishers Weekly.

You can get InQluded issues and learn lots more at their website here: InQluded.org

And watch for my interview this Friday with InQluded founder and editor-in-chief, medina!

The light in me recognizes and acknowledges the light in you,
