GADGab Fall 2014 | Page 4

From the Editors

This edition of the GADGab was in many ways a trial by fire for us as the newly elected Communications Coordinators. Though both of us are passionate about gender and development issues as well as media/communications, neither one of us had ever had the opportunity to create an online publication or design a website apart from our own personal blogs. So as we began working on this issue, we knew we had to bring it.

Beyonce’s newest album fueled our creative fires – hours of listening to it on repeat led us to wonder, WWBD (What Would Beyonce Do)? We were inspired by her flawless ability to evolve and reinvent herself while spreading the ideology of feminism with every beat she makes. In her latest album, she found a way to mute the entire media platform, independently releasing hot new tracks designed and delivered on her terms. Surely, we thought, the GADGab could also be taken to the next level, evolving into something fresh and edgy while still remaining true to SeneGAD’s mission.
