"The cultural media difference today just doesn't allow the current media out there to genuinely give the common everyday people a voice. Unheard Voices is an online magazine that gives a sense of unity to all people whether they are black, white, orange, red or green. Everybody deserves a voice! Remember our voice is your voice and your voice is ours! Speak Up and Be Heard! Remember never be scared to voice your opinion!" -- Mr. Covin
