About Me:
My name is Sophia Garcia and I'm a junior in high school. I'm currently very interested in poetry and gaming. I'm currently living in Miami and study at Miami Lakes Educational Center. I'm currently doing my AS level for AICE Media Studies, Environmental Management, English Literature, and A level for United States History.
About My Magazine:
In my magazine, I plan to highlight sapphic voices and the sapphic experience. According to Mariam-Webster, the definition of sapphic is "of or relating to sexual relations between women". Being a lesbian myself, I am very aware of the lack of representation sapphic women get in any and all forms of media. I hope to be able to amplify their voices and show how varied sapphic women are, unable to be put in a box no matter their sexuality.
The Game Plan:
My first priority is staying true to the women I interview. I aim to give them a space to talk about the problems they face as a minority. I've already gathered a list of potential candidates to photograph and interview. I hope to make this very oriented towards learning more about the sapphic community as a whole, sometimes delving into the more specific communities included in this large group (lesbians, bisexuals, etc).
Other than gathering people, I hope to learn more about photo editing and color theory in order to make my magazine more visually appealing, as the layout is equally photo- and article-based.
