Anyway magazine launches issue two

‘Anyway’ is the magazine “designed for curious tweens,” as noted on their shop website. Anyway’s debut issue launched in Winter of 2022 and their Spring/Summer 2023 is out now. “Young people deserve smart, honest and fun information about their bodies and minds,” the website reads. “That’s why we’ve created Anyway, a gender-inclusive magazine filled with stories and activities related to health, wellbeing, and culture for kids, 9-15. We’re here to make the totally awkward totally awesome—and to help all young people know that their own feelings and experiences are normal.”
