KAI-ISAIAH JAMAL COVERS WONDERLAND WINTER 2020 ISSUE
"Emancipation and the freeing of oneself is
to embrace what has been and too what is to
come, so this is why I am returning to this
moment in our timeline to further show you
the full circle moment I am now feeling."
Covering our Winter 2020 issue, poet and
model Kai-Isaiah Jamal looks back to 2017,
when they shot their first editorial as Kai
with Wonderland. Reflecting on that summer
day and the full circle moment they feel,
they write an open letter “that authentically
and directly speaks to a younger version of
myself at the start of a pivotal and transitional
time.”
“The piece is a warming reminder to keep
going,” Kai says, “no matter how high the
odds are stacked against you.”
