Dedicated to sharing youth personal stories, strengthening empathy, & facilitating connections.

Crossed Paths was founded by eight-teen-year-old writer Saya Shamdasani to create a digital space for young people to express themselves. We are a literary magazine composed of and edited entirely by youth, ages ranging from thirteen to nineteen. In a world that sometimes feels so dominated by adults, we must recognize the change and empathy we can create as young voices. Share stories about race, gender, sexuality, religion, etc.. This is our space.
