Dear VISIONS Family,

Welcome to our home, thank you for joining us and trusting us to cultivate a space to live, breathe, love, laugh, celebrate, and resist. As the only dedicated AAPI publication on College Hill, we are humbled to hold the responsibility of cultivating a space of radical love and joy.

It is our first semester working together as co-EICs, and it has been such an exciting experience working on this issue with our family, our dearest board members, and all our inspiring contributors.

This issue weaves together an intricate tapestry of emotions, spun through with hard work and creative expression. Our artists and writers remind us of the labor of love that creation is. So, as spring turns into summer, and as summer turns into fall, we hope this zine is a reminder of renewed beginnings and the endless cycle of creation.

Thank you to all who have made this issue possible: our contributors, for sharing the work they hold close to their hearts, our editorial board, for imbuing each and every page with love and care, and you, the reader, for sitting with us. We invite you to stay.

— Sabrina and Praewprach, editors-in-chief
