The whole point of collaboration is that you give and take from each other, and that’s how you create things that are totally new. — Virgil Abloh

We were busy with implementing the mentoring process for our writers today. I introduced the mentoring approach for ILLUMINATION writers in my post yesterday. It was inspiring to see several writers who have already started the process. Several writers paired to be a mentor and a protege to improve their writing practice. New writers embraced this concept. For those who haven’t see the post yet, I am attaching it for your reference.
