REBOOT. We’re entering 2023 with a renewed sense of purpose for District Fray. My editorial team and I spent the last few months reimagining how we want to tell stories, both narratively and visually, for our readers. Everything we do is through the lens of what we believe resonates with locals, from highlighting individuals making an impact on our community to providing insight into our burgeoning creative scene. While we’re bringing back some of our favorite annual themes, like arts & culture and style, we’re also playing with some new ideas. From a camp-themed adventure issue in June to a celebration of all things spooky in October, we’re really excited for this year’s editorial lineup. 

We’re kicking the year off with our Reboot Issue, delving into personal, professional and even community transformation. Chad Kinsman interviews cover subjects Dawson Saint Jour and Mona Laviñia Garcia about exploring fitness that fits your lifestyle, Laura Silverman walks us through the basics of mindful drinking, Annie Agnone deep dives into non-monogamy’s cultural moment and how to transform your personal space, and Alice Hu shares tips for unlocking your intuition. Nearly every piece in this issue touches upon the idea of embracing change and accepting who you are and what you need to be the best version of yourself. 

On another note, February is my seven-year mark as editor of the magazine, and I readily admit that I still have so much more to learn. I’m constantly soaking up the knowledge and fabulous ideas of the talented minds around me, and I can’t wait to see how we continue to evolve and where we go next. As always, thank you for supporting local journalism and staying on the ride with us for another year. 

Cheers,

Monica Alford
