TEAM
We are a team of moms spread across five time zones who have combined our various expertise to bring this children's magazine to life. But a magazine would not be complete without a diverse and inclusive pool of talented contributors. We aim to curate content from far and wide and bring in perspectives beyond our own so that the pages in Mighty Kind reflect the diversity we value so much.
