Save Ubikwist Magazine

Now, more than ever, it is fundamental that we support, nurture and celebrate black creatives and amplify their voices. Ubikwist is an independent, black-owned magazine whose voice is critical at this point in history and cannot be allowed to be disappear.

Giannie Couji has spent her career championing diversity. Already an icon within the fashion industry,  she started Ubikwist Magazine with the goal of offering a uniquely multi-ethnic viewpoint amongst the mainly white-biased media at that time.

Please help us ensure that Ubikwist finds the funding to remain in print.

UBIKWIST
NEEDS YOU


A note from the Editor In Chief:


Dear readers, contributors and friends to the cause,
Ubikwist Magazine needs your help to survive.

Trials and tribulations pave the journey of an independent publication.
It has been a long and rocky path to this 10th issue.
When print advertising isn’t a top priority and magazines were already a fraught business, being a black woman editor in chief also comes with its own challenges.

Celebrating diversity and showcasing eclectic, unconventional and opinionated talents in the fashion and creative industry is a form of activism.
Because you can’t be what you don’t see, and you can’t learn what is left untold, Ubikwist raised its voice.

Now more than ever, diverse artists, dissident thinkers and game changers need to be platformed. Their voices need to be heard so we can take part in the conversation about this new world. We need positive imagery.

In times of pandemic uncertainty, there is no roadmap and there is so much at stake. 
Like any other small business, Ubikwist magazine is on a critical turn.
Printing is essential to perenize our activity. Without print there is no advertising and there is no magazine without advertising. 

We need your help to keep the magazine alive and publish our “Avant-Garde” 10th issue. Every little helps. If 1200 persons give 10$/€/£ we will be able to get through this.

Because Ubikwist is so much more than a magazine, more than just glossy paper. it is an oppportunity to finally introduce more creativity, originality and consciousness at a time when social and racial inequalities are glaring and the line between editorial content and advertising is blurrier than ever.

Ubikwist is a community, a platform. a tribune, a guardian.

Together We Are Stronger
The fight continues.

Thank you.

Truly yours
Giannie Couji
