January was a great month for VOICES! Our global collective of storytellers brought their bullying experiences to life—from Alex Govere being the first woman of color on the Zimbabwe artistic gymnastics team to Drew Paryzer embracing his inner-backstreet boy to Glenna Schubert busting out her red pen to Jennifer Moore deciding to stand up for herself, the articles were sad, funny, powerful, thoughtful and always inspiring.

You may have noticed a slight change of scenery here on VOICES… That’s because January is over and with that, we bring our bullying coverage to a close. SO we have decided to spice things up a bit and I’m totally thrilled to introduce our theme for February…
