Executive Director's Note

Now that spring has arisen, our latest publication is filled with new growth, ideas, and sharing experiences with one another. Thank you for submitting to our fourth issue with a wide variety of pieces and experiences. 

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 our goals increase throughout 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 fourth issue. This edition features writing from diverse backgrounds and authors from five countries. 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.
