Welcome to our zine Courageous Creativity!Through this zine we present stories of courage and creativity sourced from people like you and me, living, working, being courageously creative and changing themselves and others in our community. Our writers come from diverse backgrounds and all walks of life - they are small business owners, state employees, corporate CEOs, non-profit founders and volunteers, professionals, scientists, sociologists, artists, activists, mothers and fathers, and friends.
Can you imagine being a 17-year-old
Pakistani youth, tortured into confessing a murder you didn't
commit and thrown in jail on death row, and seeing this as an
opportunity to create a new future? Or being creative in the moment
of breaking the news of your cancer at age 27 to your mother?
The contributors to our May 2012 issue found creativity bang in
the eye of the storm.
