LADirature
STUDENT LITERARY JOURNAL
Josefina Piñeyro, English Teacher Leader
"Words fail me when trying to express how proud I am of our first issue. They fail me when trying to express how proud I am of my student editors for demonstrating unwavering leadership and initiative in putting it together. Words fail me when expressing how proud I am of our community of writers for entrusting us with their words and in turn making out of LADirature one of many safe spaces at LAD. Echoing the words of Zaira, our Editor-in-Chief, our mission at LADirature is and will continue to be that of empowering all voices within our school community. We firmly believe in our AWE philosophy, as it is the driving force behind what we do and why we do it."
