When I founded Lucky Jefferson, I hadn’t been published in more than 15 years.. It doesn’t matter how you start. And in 2022, we encourage you to chase your dreams, no matter how big, no matter how many doors close in your face. Because you can. — NaBeela Washington, EIC

No matter how many times your work is accepted, rejection stings all the same. Just a friendly note to the fam to keep writing, keep putting yourself out there, keep your head held high, and keep believing in yourself; one day you’ll see how it all paid off in the end.

Things we tell ourselves when writing new poems: 1. You can’t make everyone love your work. 2. Your work isn’t meant for everyone. 3. If for no one else, you’ve gotta love what you do for yourself. 4. Every piece doesn’t need to be shared outwardly or published.
