Strike Magazine boston
Issue 09: Ephemeral
Issue 08: Instrumental
Issue 06: Faded Glory
For the past two years, I’ve contributed to Strike as a featured writer, publishing my own narrative pieces of personal identity. Beyond just sharing my own stories, however, I get the most joy as a writer in learning about other artists’ unique stories and providing a platform to share it with a wider audience. Through Strike, I’ve been lucky enough to tell the stories of local musicians, a model, and a puppeteer/mask maker.
