Three years ago I took the chance of starting this organization, mainly driven by a "need" for social justice in our community.
I couldn't understand how some leaders pointed at our communities, labeling them as "sick/insane/crazy", when their circumstances couldn't provide a better option. It bothered me to hear those leaders criticizing communities without providing them the necessary tools to help them develop into healthier ones. That's when the "seed" was "planted", and [the informal version of] Magis began to work in New Orleans.
Two years ago, with much anxiety, fear, and a slightly overwhelming sense of excitement, I was holding Magis' first official document (the registration), marking the official birth of this organization. That seed has been growing ever since!
