DEW Magazine The 14th Rebirth Issue Winter 2025. With over a decade of creating, rebirth emerges as a significant theme that invites diverse conversations. What does it truly mean to be born again? Rebirth involves shedding the skin of the past – not to lose its essence, but to honor it and transform it into something new.
Rebirth is not just an individual journey; it’s a collective effort and a shared responsibility to create a better world. True transformation begins with personal reflection, yet it extends beyond ourselves. To genuinely evolve, we must be aware of the world around us and the injustices and inequalities that are currently happening, and consider how we, as individuals, can contribute with the influence we hold. Ultimately, rebirth is a collaborative endeavor—a commitment to rise together toward positive change.
Truly, the first step to making a change is to educate ourselves. With so much information available online and in academic sources, we can easily learn more about current social and political issues. However, it’s crucial that we, as individuals, ensure the information we’re using is reliable. By educating ourselves, we can also help to spread awareness and inform others.
For this issue, we invite you to look inward and reflect—not only on your own role but also on how we, collectively, can raise awareness of ongoing atrocities and injustices in the world. While progress has been made, many crises continue. To truly make a difference, we need to speak up and build awareness. (Text Emily Naima)
