Introducing - Dual Frequency
LONDON, 21ST MAY 2020: Dual Frequency, the brainchild of rights activist and youth advocate, Charlotte Andrew, is a free digital magazine amplifying the voices of marginalised people by sharing their stories.
To be published quarterly, the digital magazine is accompanied by teaching resources for educators to start, build and continue conversations around inclusion and representation with young people.
Co-founder, Charlotte Andrew: “The idea for Dual Frequency has been on my mind for a long time and it seems fitting that we launch it now, at a time when many people all over the world are feeling the most disparate they’ve ever felt. We can all relate to feeling like we don’t quite belong at some point in our lives – and I wanted to use my time during this pandemic to help people feel less alone and that they are worth celebrating.
“We hope Dual Frequency will give young people and educators the tools they need to start a conversation about representation and equality; whether it might be in LGBTQ+ communities, BAME circles, or disabled and neuro-diverse societies. We all deserve the right to be treated equally and with fairness. No matter who you are, if you haven’t been yet, it’s time to start speaking up for inclusion”.
Partner and co-founder, Carly Hind: “We all have a part to play in making the world feel less intimidating and lonely. It’s not enough anymore to say you’re not actively promoting hate; being passive makes you accountable too. A more inclusive world is reflective of what society truly looks like - not the version that is frequently regurgitated in the media. As an educator and member of the LGBTQ+ community, creating Dual Frequency to highlight stories by people from otherwise marginalised backgrounds is ultimately an ethical decision. Our ambition is to give the next generation of young adults the tools they require to challenge passivity and kick-start meaningful conversations around identity and belonging.”
The first issue of Dual Frequency is available to download now at www.dualfrequency.co.uk. It features stories from people such as Tony Weaver Jr. founder and CEO of Weird Enough Productions, a platform that actively creates more positive visibility for diverse groups, including a comic series featuring a West African teen as a protagonist.
