Who We Are
Our History
Established in 2024, Voltage Magazine started as a dissertation project for my third year at De Montfort University in Leicester however I decided I wanted it to be more. During my years studying to be a journalist, I saw how misrepresented and how underrepresented LGBTQ+ people were in mass media. This is something that needs to change. Voltage is leading that change.
Why Voltage?
Voltage is electric, it is powerful, it's bold and striking. Just like the amazing individuals within this community. This name stuck in my head throughout the creation of this project and no other name began to sound right. So after many hours of trying to find a name to fit this publication. I decided on Voltage. I believe it fits the overall vibe!
