Not only is Caged Bird focused on shedding light on minority millennials’ issues, they are also moving to release a bi-annual print edition and even grant scholarships to its writers. “There’s no platform for minority millennials, adding there’s Teen Vogue, but you don’t see a Teen Ebony or Teen Essence,” Lisitza said. “There’s not really a space for us.”

Not only is Caged Bird focused on shedding light on minority millennials’ issues, they are also moving to release a bi-annual print edition and even grant scholarships to its writers.
She continues:
“And on the writing side, I’ve worked with a couple of publications and have noticed that it goes one of two ways: either they have one or two minority writers on the team, or they seriously restrict the amount of which their writers can be creative. I wanted to make a platform where young minorities can both have a voice, and be creative.”
Caged Bird is a very amazing and unique magazine where you can read about everything from comics to activism and everything in between. There’s also a really dope segment called the Ms. of the Month where you get to learn about some amazing minority women.
