Welcome Back YBE readers!
It sure has been a while, the Mariners are in the post-season, I don’t like Russell Wilson anymore (but Anna does) and YBE is back to posting. Over the last few months, YBE has been making many changes to improve and grow our community. We updated our values, revamped our columns, and more!
Here are some of the changes that we’ve made:
Anna Tsuchimoto and I are now Co-Chairs of the Editorial Committee.
New editors on staff! Look out for some new faces editing your submissions and posting their own!
The 15th of every month is “YBE Day!” We will be posting each month's collection of articles on the 15th over every month from now on.
New Column Names
We realized that many of our columns had a lot of overlap, which caused confusion amongst the submissions we received.
News and Buzz => New Happenings
Updates on what's happening right now with Buddhist youth organizations and our community members. Find out about current and upcoming fundraisers, retreats, festivals, and more.
Buddhist Discussion => Dharma Dialogue
How do Buddhist teachings apply today? Dip into the Dharma discussion here.
Cultural Conversation => Personal Reflections
A space to reflect on how our experiences and identities intersect in our lives.
Gallery stays the same :)
We are so excited to be back, and can’t wait to receive more submissions from you all!
In gassho,
Trevor Yokoyama and the YBE Editorial Committee
