"Finding a community you belong to is an act of self care"

These are the heartfelt words of our co-editor, Dhruva Balram, from a short video attached to this message for the Haramacy book. These words leave a lasting impression on a year although nearing its end still will not have ended for many of us as we grapple with the learnings brought about by a pandemic.

Dhruva also exclaims "at a time where seemingly everything was fractured, it felt like an act of resistance to create something so whole."

Its been just over a month since we launched our project on Unbound and each new pledge feels like a new step taken to repair this fracture and strengthen our resolve.

Thank you.
