About
On Second ThoughtOn Second Thought exists to challenge. Our stories encourage empathy, curiosity, integrity, and transformation — in the reader and the storyteller. We aim to be intentional with every story we share, and in the process, grow a community of mindful thinkers and doers.
Note from the editor
I started On Second Thought to pause. To think. To tell stories with nuance and humanity. To encourage authenticity. Our stories are meant to amplify voices, spark conversation, and inspire reflection. I hope you will join us, read with us, write with us, learn with us, and grow with us. On Second Thought asks that you rethink the way you interact with media. We aim to inspire a different kind of reading and learning, one where you settle in to savor and slow down. Welcome to our conversation — I hope you stay a while.
