In the words of famed author and social activist Audre Lorde, “where the words of women are crying to be heard, we must each of us recognize our responsibility to seek those words out, to read them and share them and examine them in the pertinence of our lives”. We at GirlSense & NonSense have taken up the challenge in Lorde’s words to “seek those words out” of emerging girl and young women authors and artists. It is our sincere hope and desire that girls and young women may find a haven in GirlSense & NonSense and that you our reader will rally behind the efforts and momentum of this magazine and our contributors.

With Love,

Pamela & Sarah
