POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Last month, we helped produce a showcase with @silverthreadmpv, celebrating their first wave of grantees, a group of supremely talented Muslim filmmakers! Hundreds of movers and shakers attended the evening at the beautiful @hexi.thedecobldg.

The night was a massive success thanks our partners:

The sequel to the award-winning debut is here! When tragedy strikes, the Guardians hop a portal to Classical Greece where they encounter Plato & Aristotle, the Ghost of Pythagoras, Sirens, sea monsters and traverse the Underworld. Zya and Elijah’s relationship will be tested, as the teens struggle with arrogance, grief, envy, and desire. Can they rise above and save the day? The fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

📚✨ SUMMER READING LIST ✨📚
Adventures Across Time, Space & Imagination

Grab your flashlight. Claim your porch swing. Adventure is calling. 🌅

Summer is the season when imagination gets to run wild—long golden days, no homework and a stack of books waiting to whisk you somewhere extraordinary. ✨

We’ve handpicked 20 unforgettable titles for 5th–8th grade readers (lots of honor winners 🏅), and they all share the same beating heart: courage, curiosity and friendships that change everything. 💛

Inside these pages, you’ll find heroes who—
🚀 Tesser across the cosmos
⚡ Race through ancient mythologies
🔍 Crack impossible puzzles
🏜️ Dig up generations-old secrets in the desert sun

But the real magic? These stories believe in kids. They know that the ones standing right on the edge of growing up are exactly the ones brave enough to face the darkness, decode the mystery and discover who they’re meant to become. 🌟

You’ll meet siblings, best friends, soul-sisters and the most unlikely of partners—bonds tested by gods, dystopias and the beautifully complicated business of growing up. 🫱🏼‍🫲🏾

So whether you’re reading under a beach umbrella 🏖️, in the backseat on a road trip 🚗, or by flashlight long after bedtime 🔦…

✨Adventure is waiting.
All you have to do is turn the page. 📖

This is Finnland. Finnland is unbothered.

Favorite activities include: walking in the shade, cool grass on his belly, waiting patiently at the corner, trying to share his stuffed animals, being cautious around little dogs.

Getting to the gym in the morning = empowering. Sporting your #NobodyLikesALazyStormtrooper tee? The cherry on top 🍒

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“This isn’t just a quest to stop a weapon. It’s a story about fear, power, jealousy, trust, and what happens when children are forced to become braver than anyone should have to be … What begins as a breathless rescue mission gradually becomes something more inward and resonant, asking what courage costs and how friendship can bend under pressure without fully breaking.” — @LiteraryTitan
