The cover of the most recent issue of oxygen magazine is by Jan Price. The title is 'Emerge'. 

On the opening page is a quote from James Baldwin 'Our crown has already been bought and paid for. All we have to do is wear it.' 

Too many of us, instead of wearing a crown upon our heads, wear a feeling of not being good enough. We don't hold our head high, and we don't feel that crown that sits upon it. This is not only a bad situation for ourselves but for others around us. If we don't honour ourselves, can we truly respect and honour others? A feeling of not being good enough crushes more surely than a repressive government.
