Our new issue is here! And its beautiful cover art by Lisa Congdon proudly proclaims a sentiment near and dear to our Peppermint hearts: you belong here. Yes, you do.

We interviewed Lisa for issue 64 and she said of this artwork: “We are in unprecedented times in the United States, at least in terms of having a government who openly and unabashedly disparages, rejects and causes harm to trans folks and other marginalised groups, including immigrants. So my team decided I should make a piece of art that included the words ‘You Belong Here’ that people could hang in their homes, and this piece was born.”

Our gorgeous summer issue is full of creativity, inclusivity and belonging. Our cover is the front door, welcoming you into our house of hope. You are welcome. You are valued. Take a seat at our table. YOU BELONG HERE.
