Global-i
Global-i
Global-i is a national youth newsbeat on global affairs – on the U.S. role in the world and the world’s growing presence in the U.S. This national youth voice is a collaboration between YO! and four of the country’s most respected youth publications, New York-based New Youth Connections, Southern California-based LA Youth, VOX Youth Communications in Atlanta GA and Gumbo Magazine based in Milwakee WI. Whether multi or bi national, bi-lingual, bicultural, urban youth are America’s new globalists. And Global-i is their voice.

The first article that popped up on my screen, “Silence=Rape,” was about the massive rape epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Africa – a topic I knew nothing about.
