Editor’s Note - December 2025

Alisha Proffitt

The year is winding down and the days seem quieter, even with all the lights and holiday bustle. This is the season for noticing the small joys. 2025 left its marks, some gentle, some bruising, and we carry them all into the new year. As the holidays settle in, may you find a moment to breathe and to give a little grace to yourself and others. May your holidays be messy and warm, full of real people, real stories. Here’s to the year behind us, and to stepping into the next with open eyes, full hearts, and a touch of stubborn hope. 

From everyone on our VOICE-TRIBUNE team, a very happy holiday season to you and yours. 

Take care, 

Alisha Proffitt Chief Director of Editorial & Editor
