To capture the intentions of being more present and celebrating ourselves, we looked inward, reflecting on the indispensable qualities that make us, as individuals, unique – our essence.
Not only does Essence inspire our readers to self-reflect, but it also celebrates the raw, yet multifaceted characteristics that make the people, places and things around us who and what they are.
As the academic year comes to a close and new chapters of life begin for many, we hope Essence inspires you to pause, reflect and appreciate the extraordinary and intricate nuances that make us each who we are at our core.
RECLAIM highlights our collective ability to revolutionize moments, perspectives and conventions to better reflect a world that echoes our ideals. This issue aims to inspire readers to take back control in some area of their lives – whether it’s in retreating to routine or demanding contemporary customs and mindsets.
As we reflect on the present, borrow from the past and look to the future, we hope RECLAIM empowers you to repurpose, revive and reimagine the world around you.
