As humans we have an inherent need to belong to something outside of ourselves, a community of some sort. And, unfortunately, most of us know what it feels like not to belong\u2014to be left out. To be excluded.<\/p>\n
For our fourth issue we want to explore the idea of exclusion. Tell us your stories of isolation, being left out, discriminated against. What about a time you did the excluding? Or flip it on its head and share the joy that comes from escaping the exclusion and finding your people. Surprise us (someone always does)!<\/p>\n
