The movement towards accepting beauty— different body sizes, shapes and skin tones— has mobilized across the country. These movements combat the construct of ideal images of beauty and empower men and women alike.
The Heroes Back Home
Serving in the United States Army is considered to be one of our country’s most honorable and patriotic undertakings. More than two million men and women serve in the force, leaving three million husbands, wives, sons, daughters and parents waiting at home. In Silicon Valley, this path of duty is not as common; many fail to realize the everyday emotional adversities these family members face, no matter where in the world their loved ones are deployed. While it is typical for stories to focus on the heroes who serve, C Magazine has shifted the camera onto the people closest to them. These are the voices of the spouses, siblings and children of those who make sacrifices every day to fight for our country.
