A Message From Our Founder

Curiosity remains a driving factor in my life. I dare to ask questions that may seem too personal or out of the norm. I began compiling the thoughts, observations, stories, and perspectives and created an advice magazine to share these insights - the catalyst for ACE. Highlighting female voices and promoting female representation is extremely important to me, as I grew up in an all-girls school. I was constantly surrounded by brilliant women, and felt that these voices and shared experiences needed a platform. I wanted to produce an all-female-driven magazine dedicated to sharing experiences and providing advice on universal teenage topics such as school, social pressures, beauty standards, and mental health, written by teenagers, for teenagers. I am so proud of my all-female team for their contributions, efforts and countless hours into getting ACE up and running as full-time students. This is just the beginning; let's ACE this.Â
​
With love,Â
Ella Soonshiong
