Our Story
At Ale’s Pivot, Ale’s Pivot Magazine, we are a team of dedicated professionals with years of experience in the print and digital media . We started this business with a vision to provide our clients with high-quality print and digital media services that center BIPOC stories.
Ale’s Pivot bridges across continents and unifies the BIPOC community by firmly establishing its presence in the field of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice in art, and fashion. It stands for justice and equity in its content and products while assuring that the staff, partners, and served communities respect our values.
Ale’s Pivot strives to create a space for BIPOC communities to relish in their lived experiences and distinct histories. We achieves this by producing media anchored in the perspectives of BIPOC communities and by providing a legitimate avenue, for BIPOC artists, designers, and journalists, to collaborate in our growing network for Ale’s Pivot Magazine.
