Welcome to the second issue of The Bold Source magazine, a youth-led magazine which is curated and edited by a group of passionate editors.
We are young people from Brimbank who are aware of the many worlds youths are navigating through and want to make a difference. We want young people to feel empowered to share their stories, to challenge mainstream narratives - and most importantly - to find ways to explore their imaginations so they can transform their futures.
This issue’s theme is transformation and metamorphosis. Transformation involves trusting the unknown and delving into something uncertain, whereas metamorphosis is the transition between stages, such as from teenager to adulthood. We chose this theme during a time of monumental uncertainty and disruption. To say that COVID-19 changed things for us is an understatement - it flipped our already tilted world upside down. We had to transform how we socialised, studied and worked, as everything
migrated online.
