It's Not You Amigxs, It's Us
Hey amigxs,
We’ve got to talk. For the last six months, we’ve been lucky enough to have the opportunity to curate a newsletter dedicated to womxn of color and to share that newsletter with all of you. Pero Make It Newsy gave us a creative outlet when we needed it most and allowed us to pursue the stories we believed needed to be told.
But if we’re being honest, we think it’s time for a break. And it’s not you, it’s us.
After some conversations (one, it was one conversation), we decided to step away from the newsletter for a bit to get used to a few new changes in our lives. We plan to come back in a few months to re-evaluate the best way to move forward because at the end of the day we want to produce a newsletter that brings our readers, and us, joy.
And speaking of joy, we’d like to share a few of our rejected titles for this goodbye-for-now letter that made us giggle as we tried to figure out how to break this news to you all. (Please vote for your favorite in the comments!)
Hello Burnout, My Old Friend
We Broke Up…
She Ended It! [Clickbait]
This Isn’t a Goodbye, It’s a See You Later
We Were Unemployed and All We Got Was This Newsletter
We want to thank all of our amigxs for subscribing and taking this six-month journey with us. A special shout-out to our media partner Hugo and our friend Micah who helped us get our socials off the ground! (Yay for supportive men!)
As a surprise, we got all of our amigxs a little farewell present: a Spotify playlist featuring all of our favorite goodbye songs.
Nos vemos pronto!
Maria Elena and Nikki
PS: Much like your ex who just won’t stay away, you might hear from us occasionally! Xoxo
