Volume 2, Issue 1 | Page 3

Mih’s Corner Mihella, Connect Magazine CEO/Owner Dear Connect Magazine Readers: On behalf of the staff of Connect Magazine, I dedicate Volume 2, Issue 1 to those who have lost their lives too soon. This issue’s color scheme and staff photos are blacked out to show our support for Black Lives Matter. We have decided on a Hero theme for this issue to show that even in a world of darkness, there are heroes out there who are fighting a battle every day. We are taking this time to celebrate and acknowledge those who continued working in the COVID world, putting yourselves at risk on a daily basis. Whether you are fighting against social and civil injustices, making masks to protect us from a deadly virus, or working to right the wrongs of the past—we support you and we thank you for all of the services you are providing. Let us look forward to a brighter day. A day where children can play outside without worry of whether or not they will survive the day. A day where our brothers and sisters know they are safe driving to work. A day where we are truly treated equal and there is zero tolerance for discrimination. This day is coming. 3
