| Dear OZY Family, I’m writing with an update … and an invitation. Over the past few months, I’ve had the privilege of fielding your questions and engaging our OZY Community. We’ve heard your desire to go deeper into topics that matter to you, topics that affect our world today, and to do so in a way that promotes understanding and connection. In fact, we need more conversations so we can better understand each other. That’s why I’m so excited to announce the launch of a new OZY newsletter — Elevate the Conversation. Through Elevate the Conversation, we are inviting our global OZY Community to gather round the proverbial table to listen and engage in authentic dialogue. As one friend shared:“Through dialogue we can understand each other better. Through dialogue we can see each other’s humanity.” And that is our audacious goal. So starting tomorrow, our new Sunday magazine, Elevate the Conversation, will delve into meaningful topics ranging from loneliness and mental health to adoption, spreading urban kindness, the costs of disinformation, redemption and race. In these conversations we invite you to share your thoughts and reflections and, hopefully, to learn and connect with our curious OZY Community. Elevate the Conversation. Elevate Our Community, as we dig deeper to learn and grow together. I hope you like it! Make sure to participate — share your thoughts and let us know what conversation you think we need to elevate. Email us at OzyCommunity@Ozy.com or tag us on social media, #ElevatetheConversation #Ozy . We look forward to thought-provoking and impactful discussions. We look forward to inspiring more connection and continuing to build a positive and engaged community. Warmly, Beverly Managing Editor, OZY |
