Welcome to the Elysian Blog, one of the three Meraki Blogs run by myself, and Mehak Lally. In this post, I will entail all you need to know about us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who are we?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned previously, this blog is 1 of 3 blogs we run. For a quick preview on us co-presidents <a href=\"https:\/\/meraki-blogs.com\/index.php\/about-us\/\" title=\"click here\">click here<\/a>. Mehak and I are both students in the Lower Mainland, with a goal to share students\u2019 passions for literature. We are both artists in our own way, though I do not seem to have inherited that talent (lol).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are we doing this?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We are running this blog because we have a goal to share the passion of students like us through their work, whether it&#8217;s through writing posts for the blog or through sharing their portfolio. Each student that joins us has the right to showcase their hard work on a safe online platform. We as co-presidents, ask that as the audience, you respect the students and their work. Feel free to leave comments though! Some positive feedback here and there would be incredibly helpful.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"356\" src=\"https:\/\/meraki-blogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/meraki-blogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-2.png 626w, https:\/\/meraki-blogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-2-300x171.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to join<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a high school student (age 13-18) in BC, and want to share your creative passion, gain online exposure on work you\u2019re proud about, and get your work published online as a blog post, contact us through email or DM us on Instagram, and we\u2019ll get back to you as soon as possible.
