Dear Reader, Writer, or Artist,
The world is chaotic. In the midst of the constant barrage of news, where every headline feels urgent and trying to keep up feels like drowning, having an anchor to what matters isn’t just important, it’s essential. Ignite is that anchor for me, and it could be your anchor too. Ignite strives to create a safe space to challenge the status quo, to resist the current political climate, and to speak truth to power.
To the oppressed, the silenced, the empathetic, the (rightfully) furious: this space is for you. Let the art hold you. Let the written words wash over you and fuel your soul. If you’ve ever been told to make yourself small, to sit down, be quiet, or stop feeling so much, Ignite says the opposite. Your voice matters. Your art matters. Are you inspired by what you see here? Good! Let that inspiration fuel your next masterpiece, and if you feel so inclined, I’d love to see your work in my submissions inbox! (Submission Guidelines)
Whether you found Ignite on the street, through social media, through a friend, or by the magic of the internet, you’re here now and I just want to say one thing: Thank you. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to visit this site and learn more about the project. If you’d like to stay informed, you can subscribe to the mailing list here.
