Today, Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States. While many are still in shock over one of the biggest upsets in recent political history, we must look ahead to what Trump will do once he’s in office. Why is this so important, and what does this mean for women and girls? Where do women fit in, in the “America First” plan? If there was ever a time to speak louder — this is it.
As champions for gender equality, the Apareció Foundation already works every day to develop and uphold standards and to foster an environment in which every girl is afforded more equitable access to education and the ability to live up to her full potential.
We endeavor to inspire and uniquely impact young women’s life goals and achievements by exposing them to previously unimagined college and career opportunities.
We recognize the political, legal, economic and cultural issues faced by women in the U.S. today. At Apareció and with Felix Magazine, we commit, to speak louder. With this issue, we explore pitfalls of populism, women and power, fashion, art, literature, and television.
We invite our readers to join with us to address what lies before our nation. We hope you enjoy our winter issue, as it also covers the best of Spring/Summer 2017 Fashion Weeks in both New York and London, as well as, other joyous events.
Happy New Year and thank you on behalf of myself and all of the Apareció staff, interns, volunteers and partners across the United States.
