Mercurial is an issue for survivors. Those who have to fight to be seen, to be understood. Those brave enough to withstand physical and emotional suffering and come out of it with an open heart every time. Survivors are lovers. They are fearless, authentic and courageous. They love and lose in a world that continuously tries to shame them out of their bravery. From cover to cover, you’ll find freedom in the volatility of human nature and strength in vulnerability.
As editors-in-chief, we devoted ourselves to building a flourishing magazine and community for everyone to freely express themselves and create. We oversaw 45+ executive team members and 100+ committee members in the collaboration and production of Mercurial, including editorial content, photography, styling, graphic design, advertising, public relations, and finance.
