“I’m extremely proud to have Nyakim Gatwech grace the cover of our next issue,” explained Mitchell Royel. “The next issue will boldly explore the themes of social justice, combating racism in society and the pros and cons of privilege. I can think of no one better to represent this important issue than Nyakim. She shares a very empowering message with her 900,000 followers on Instagram regularly, and we’re eager to have her share the same with our readers. We will continue to use our platform to promote diversity and inclusion while combating racism in society.”

When Nyakim was asked what message she would send to privileged youth about helping to combat racism in society, she stated “If you’re a privileged young person and you can reach people that I can’t, please do that. If you have certain groups that you can reach that can help, please do. If your dad is the president, talk to your father. As a privileged white child, talk to people in your friend groups. Talk to people that I can’t. That’s one way of walking with us.”
