Creating Space with Zoë Ryan

With a magazine of her own came questions of how to make it the space she had dreamed. “I am a Black woman myself, and I was very fortunate in that my family has always prioritized diversity,” she said. With close LGBTQ+ relatives and a community of BIPOC and POC, Rayn always cared for and about communities marginalized in society. So, it was with that mindset she set Caldera’s submission requirements: only showcasing work from Black, Indigenous, POC and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals.
