Dear Reader,

Thank you for returning to another edition of The Brownbag. This year the world has seen a range of events conjuring the different emotions that are reflective of the human experience. It is of human nature to create, destroy, and regenerate. These realities are often the driving force of artists and their works. Whether it be through writing, the visual, arts, music, food or poetry, everyone’s voice can be heard. We aim to make The Brownbag a vehicle for these voices and that you take from these what you can. We hope you enjoy this issue. Please note the updates on Brownscape projects and thanks again for checking out The Brownbag!

Sincerely,
Mery Diaz, Editor-in-Chief
