Dear readers,
As storytellers, we often find ourselves drawn to the past — recounting its influence on our identities and the world around us.
Yet, this year’s issue of Curb invites us to shift our focus.
While we honor our history, we also celebrate the trailblazers and innovators who are actively defining the path forward for present and future generations.
The state of Wisconsin brims with complexity — its narratives rich with inspiration, conflicts and untold stories. Our mission was to illuminate these stories, highlighting those who have sparked change and continue to shape our state’s trajectory.
By shining light on those who have often been overlooked, we aim to spotlight Wisconsin’s changemakers — individuals and communities fueled by a relentless spirit of innovation and progress. We are a state propelled by evolution, where tradition meets the ever-changing mold of our identity.
In Curb: Blaze, we explore how the past informs our present and how it will guide future generations. In today’s world, every decision holds the power to impact tomorrow. This issue of Curb embodies Wisconsin’s forward-thinking philosophy, offering a platform not just for the stories within these pages, but for those who aspire to support and actively participate in shaping Wisconsin’s future.
We invite you to celebrate the stories that define our past, acknowledge their significance in our present and embrace a mindset geared toward the possibilities that lie ahead. Together, we can amplify these voices and help shape the future we envision.
Forward and onward,
Noa Chamberlin
Editor in Chief, Curb Magazine
