Liv Little couldn’t recognize herself in the media available to her, so she created her own platform. And so was born gal-dem, an online and print magazine that’s become a creative outlet for Liv and its contributors; “The aim of gal-dem is to open up our take on the world to a wider audience,” reads the magazine’s website. With a talent roster of 70 women and non-binary people of colour, gal-dem also happens to be a prime example of how creativity can be used to achieve the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, specifically number 10 on the list: reduced inequalities. To mark World Creativity and Innovation Day, Liv—a University of Bristol student and editor-in-chief of gal-dem—shares how she turned to creativity when looking for a way to address representation in the media. About WE: WE is an organization that brings people together and gives them the tools to change the world. A unique family of organizations, WE is made up of WE Charity, empowering change with resources that create sustainable impact, and ME to WE, a social enterprise that creates socially conscious products and experiences that allow people to do good through their everyday choices. The celebration of that change happens at WE Day – inspiring stadium-sized life changing events that take place around the world. A movement of 3.4 million young people supporting 2,500+ local and global causes, we’ve provided more than 1 million people with clean water and built 1,000 schools and schoolrooms overseas, giving more than 200,000 children access to education. WE was founded more than 20 years ago by humanitarians, activists and social entrepreneurs, brothers Craig and Marc Kielburger.
