Executive Director's Note
We all made it to the year 2023. I want to wish everybody a happy New Year, filled with writing and sharing experiences with one another. Here is our third issue, filled with a diverse arrangement of pieces chronicling various cultures.
The Compass team would like to congratulate all contributors for being a part of our works this year and for our readers who give writers an opportunity to make their voices heard. This issue delves into social issues, feelings of unbelonging, love, and traditions. As we begin 2023, it is time to use these pieces as reflection for how we can move forward in our lives to find our place in the world.
We want to use this issue as a gateway to expanding our offerings, finding unique voices, and reaching readers in a pivotal nature. Our goal is to expand mindsets, expose different lifestyles, and make readers contemplate their role in the world.
Check out the beautiful compilation of writings in our third issue. I hope you will take the time to read what the content of the magazine has to offer. This issue has so much to read, so much to ponder and so much to learn.
