Desiree Michael
Editor | Maiden Voyage
Welcome to the maiden voyage of the iBronze online magazine! This is our beta flight: Our magazine is designed with the distinctly different personalities of women who have experienced the boundaries of life and created their own voices. We hope you will laugh with us. Explore with us. Design with us. Learn with us.
We will cover everything from music to the fascinating world of microbial organisms that may even design your weight in the future. We will investigate microbots working to overcome the Brownian motion and digitally visit the corners of the world like Xochimilco; and finally, we will cover the advances of women beyond Friedan’s Mystique and the glass-cliff…and we will always bring you something unexpected! If you don’t find the voice of writing which you seek to find, feel free to join us as we shape, reshape, iterate and reiterate our mosaic of bronzed voices.

Tselane Bell
Tsélané – pronounced “Tesh – la – nee” or “Say – la – nay”. Born to two artists, learned how to color precisely within the lines by age five – which carried over to her latest, meticulously done Polygonal artwork which she calls Pieces. Tsélané’s artwork details Biblical stories by and large. Her distinctive collage technique causes the beholder to peer deeper only to discover something different, something more each time they look. This is what Tsélané hopes her current writings will inspire readers to do as well: discover something different with each read of her micro-posts: Toura’s Wind.
