About

WAiF is an online publication about movement and change. We publish creative nonfiction written by people from all over the globe--people who have moved homes and changed identities. We envision the collection of stories within this journal to be an evolving compendium about the human relationship between our homes, our identities, and how we engage with each another. WAiF's mission is to foster frank and balanced conversation about the necessity of migration and the reality of our polycultural world, bringing light to the inherent relationship between the two.
