LUMIN: Issue No. 1
Issue No. 1 is here! This is a cause for celebration as we are the first print magazine that highlights well-living for people of color!
In this issue, we have fascinating articles that deal with mindfulness like, Making space, Lost in the right direction, Finding the good, Slow your scroll, Finding your center, and more! These articles encourage inviting ease into our daily lives.
In Currently eating on page 27, we share seven recipes for the foodies amongst us. Prepare to look forward to the Friday after Thanksgiving once you learn about the ‘Day After Thanksgiving Omelette’.
We provide space for self-reflection on several pages. Feel free to write in your magazine! We believe in the healing powers of writing and in our 2020 recap feature, The in-between, it is made clear why. Our feature writer, Salem Afangideh, shares pages from her personal journal throughout these very challenging times. We also share insights from individuals who participated in our Instagram poll: Describe 2020.
We spend a lot of time discussing the joys of nature because let’s face it, we’ve wanted to be outside more this year than we have in a very long time. In For the love of nature, our Editor-In-Chief illustrates the collective shift toward the outdoors we experienced this year. In Good for the planet, we have a conversation with Rachel Mayo about green living. She walks us through what it means and why it’s so important.
Of course, we talk about physical well-being. In How food gives us the feels and Getting in the practice, we explore ways to feel better from the inside out.
In this issue, you’ll find Wise words, good quotes, and a lovely poem entitled The fall by our feature writer. We leave you with The LUMIN List, our editorial team’s recommendations for books, music, plants, essential oils, and more!
A truly beautiful magazine, LUMIN is filled with thoughtful words, brilliant artwork, and loads of good feels.
We hope you’ll see yourself reflected within these pages of our inaugural issue.
Until the next one,
The Lumin Team
In print we trust.
We are a mindfulness + well-living print magazine for people of color. We aim to create a space that normalizes being a person of color while also caring about the overall quality of your life including rest, nutrition, creativity, balance, wonder, creativity, physical health, etc.
We embrace the digital world we live in, but also understand the value of seeing, holding, and flipping through tangible material. With captivating covers, content, and images, our print magazine can go a lot farther than the best and most innovative digital experience.
“LUMIN is a resource. It is self-care in a book. It’s a place that shows us in a good light. It’s a place that makes space for our faces, our things, our greatness.”
Founder, Brandie Freely.
