Introduction

Hey there,

Welcome to the very first issue of The Iraqi Times! 

As we kick off this journey, I can't help but feel a mix of excitement and gratitude. It's been a wild ride to get here, but every twist and turn has been worth it. This magazine isn't just a collection of pages; it's a piece of our hearts, crafted to resonate with the stories and experiences that shape us as young people.

So, why "youth experience" for our debut? Because it speaks to the core of what we're all about. From the captivating interviews with young leaders who are changing the game, to the eye-opening articles that delve into the impact of unhealthy coping mechanisms in education on our mental well-being, we're exploring the identities of cities and communities, venturing beyond the screens we're glued to, and diving deep into the connections we build with the people around us.

This isn't a magazine for the masses; it's a space we've built just for you. A place to be heard, understood, and celebrated. It's been months of late nights, brainstorming sessions, and a whole lot of passion that brought this vision to life. But it's all been worth it.

This magazine? It's a labor of love. Your love, your stories, your struggles, and your triumphs. This is a journey we're taking together, and I'm thrilled to have you on board.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The iraqi Times team
