ISSUE ONE:

FIRST THINGS FIRST

We are so excited to introduce you to the 11 Seconds Magazine's DEBUT Issue, First Things First. In this issue, we dive deep into PCOS, periods, visits to the gynecologist, childbirth, love, sex, and even what it’s like to question the healthcare system head on. What does it mean to all of us that our firsts are remembered, recorded, and perhaps even revered?

You can now read it as a digital flipbook or as a series of articles below!

NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

In the 11 seconds it takes for your heart to pump over 26 ounces of blood, a headline can go viral, a narrative can shift, and the pulse of public discourse can change — sometimes imperceptibly, sometimes explosively.

As 11 Seconds Magazine returns at this political and media flashpoint, we recognize that
navigating today’s information landscape is as much about resilience as it is about rhythm. This issue is our love letter to the communities that keep pushing forward, to the seekers of truth who sift through the noise, and to the changemakers who refuse to let cynicism win. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, we celebrate the bonds that tether us — to facts, to each other, and to the ever-beating heart of change.

Don’t forget, you, dear reader, are hands down our favorite valentines!

— Sahana Narayan, Editor in Chief

11 Seconds Magazine

11 seconds represents the median time after which physicians interrupted patients. But for us, 11 Seconds also means that the healthcare system, contrary to what physicians and patients want, prioritizes time and efficiency, with no room for story. We are changing that, one story at a time, one second at a time.
