EDITOR LETTER
Oh my goodness! Over 10 000 views. thank you so much for all of your
comments and amazing messages full of kind words and encouragement.
I have always endeavoured to communicate messages of empowerment,
inclusivity, diversity and tolerance through my work by sharing my truth and
by giving a platform to those who can’t do that on their own. My work has
always been for the fighters, for activists and for those who face adversity
and want to evoke change.
Believing in yourself is often the biggest obstacle of all, everything is
possible when it comes from the heart and from a place of truth, by living a
lie you spend your life living in nothing but an illusion, Be you, be true and
never, ever let anyone tell you that you can’t.
During my years in Second Life as a model, blogger and working in the
fashion industry, I have heard numerous stories and have personally
witnessed designers, models, artists and residents not being seen, heard,
or even represented, It is not surprising that some designers and content
creators end up having no in-world store and are left with “marketplace
only“ because they can’t afford to pay their rent anymore, I can assure you
it’s not because they lack talent, but because they get forgotten or ignored.
EQUALIZER Magazine exists to place out a stepping stone for hope and
change, nothing will prevent us from getting our message out across the
grid and beyond. We are veteran's and masters, the old and the new, we
are where vintage culture and innovation meet and exist in symbiosis.
I want to thank my team who are like a second family to me and all of the
designers, artists, and sponsors for your trust in working and collaborating
with us, we have met, talked and interacted with every single one of you,
listening to your stories and admiring your work and creativity, we
endeavour to translate and present your vision to all, to the best of our
abilities.
TYMON
Best regards,
ALRXANDER

Save the date! On June 23rd, Second Life will be turning 19! The 19th
annual Second Life birthday celebration (SL19B) will be held from
June 16th to July 5th. The theme for SL19B festivities is Steampunk!
Get ready for three fun-filled weeks of live music, performances,
shopping, and amazing community exhibits!
To get things started we are opening applications for Music Fest, to
be held June 16th-18th. Music Fest will kick off the overall SL19B
celebration with three days of live music performances featuring
some of the most talented live musicians in SL!
To sign up for a Music Fest audition, please complete this
application form by April 10th, 2022.
We are also opening up applications for the general performance
schedule. Why celebrate for one day when we can party for a week!
We are looking for all types of performers to join the week-long
festivities from June 19th-26th. Are you a DJ who can spin up a great
party set or a live performer who can jam all night? You might be one
of the grid’s amazing Dance companies, or perhaps you’re a Particle
Performer? One of the things that makes Second Life so vibrant and
exciting is the wide range of performers who share their talent with
our Residents. Whatever your medium, we would love to hear from
you!
Fill out the official performer application form by May 8th, 2022 and
tell us a little about how you roll.
While we encourage all interested performers to sign up, please note
that it does not guarantee a spot. We will review all submissions and
extend audition invitations via a follow up note in-world to the SL
username that you provide.
Over the next few months, keep an eye on our blog for more
opportunities to participate in the SL19B celebrations as an
Exhibitor, Volunteer, and Merchant!
CURRENT APPLICATIONS FOR SL19B:
Performer Application - Applications close on May 8th, 2022

you please introduce yourself? Name where
are you from....
My name is Emilio Cordewa. I am 24 years old and I
am from Ecuador.
-When and how did you find out about Secondlife?
I discovered Second Life 7 years ago through an
advertisement on YouTube. I was looking for an
update to the game The Sims and I saw an
advertisement for SL, it caught my attention, I
clicked, I entered and I was hooked.

we could take advantage of this union in a
very positive way to make Second Life grow
and at the same time our businesses too.

-What is your motto in life?
My motto in life is to always improve myself in life
despite the obstacles. But I think my main source of
motivation or motto in life is that present me can
achieve what past me couldn't. In other words, if one
day I get up and stumble, the next day I have the
opportunity to show yesterday's 4 Emilio that I could.

?How did you get into fashion design?
is it something related to your real-life
occupation?
My life has always been wrapped up in
cinema and fashion. These are things
that I am passionate about. But really,
it wasn't until I got into SL that I
realized what an amazing fashion
world surrounds SL. At that moment I
wanted to embark on this path, which
has not been easy at all. It has brought
me arguments, joys, sadness. But in
the end it is as the saying goes: you
will reap what you have sown. It has
been 6 long years of learning and I feel
that I still have a lot to learn.
What Cordewa means? and how can
you describe your brand?
Cordewa actually comes from a
lineage of vampires, of which I have
always been a great fan, but for me it
has a very important meaning because
it was the first surname that welcomed
me in this virtual world. I am very fond
of him because this surname has
accompanied me throughout my
career. This is why I decided to give it
the honor of being the name of my
brand (besides, it sounds nice).
My brand is a multifaceted mix
between EQUALIZERMAG Japanese streetwear, cyber,

sensual, fashion and urban. Cordewa is
an interesting mix of everything
mentioned above, since I have never
wanted to pigeonhole it into a single
style.
Cordewa is multifaceted, chameleonic,
and I have tried to reach all kinds of
people. Giving the opportunity to mix
styles and find everything in one
place.
-What can we expect from you in the
future?
I would like my brand to reach many
more people in the future. And well,
the addition that my brand has, and
that people can expect, is that behind
each creation there is a lot of time
invested, a lot of research, study, a lot
of feedback, in order to always offer
an improved product, always
surpassing

enough for it RL back in time - so i am

Kryptonia:
Hey Samuel nice to see you and thanks
for having time for an interview with
me.
I know you have a busy schedules, i
promise it wont take long ;)
Samuel:
Hey Kryptonia, Im never too busy for
you, and besides ive been looking
forward to catching up
Samuel:
well, when i was younger i did music,
hiphop actually, vocals only, was pretty
successful, but i got married, had a kid,
moved on, i guess when Covid happened
a lot of us were bored, i just picked up
my guitar in early 2020 and started
writing songs, i had nothing else to do
lol i'd never really played guitar outside
of the odd party here and there.
Kryptonia:
So, tell us a bit about yourself and how
did you get into Music?
Kryptonia:
You mentioned that you are Autistic,

does it have influenced to your SL and
RL music career?
Samuel:
yes it 100% does, it takes me 5 mins to
write a song and n hour, to write,
record n release a song, and i write so
much. my only downfall is budget, ive
resorted to home recording because by
the time i saved enough for studio
time i'd have 70 songs that need
recording, the down sides are im bad
with ppl, im dorky and i say weird
things at weird times, im a total loser
lol
Kryptonia:
What is your main inspiration?
Samuel:
my own experiences, my pain, my
brokeness, my desire to love and be
loved
Kryptonia:
What genre of music are you most?
Samuel:
Indie/folk/pop, lol, a mix of those
Kryptonia:
When did you know singing was going
to be your SL career?
Samuel:
in 2021 in october, i knew its what i
wanted to do
Kryptonia:
Who would you most like to
collaborate with?
Samuel:
Semina, for sure, i would say J Lively
but we have already written a song
together currently on Spotify
Kryptonia:
Which famous musicians do you
admire? (in RL)
Samuel:
Bob Dylan, Dermot Kennedy
Kryptonia:
When and how did you hear about
Second Life?
Samuel:
i googled "non violent video games"
back in like 2010
Kryptonia:
What means SL music community to
you?
Samuel:
its a place to be not alone in a lonely
world, a place that brings comfort
Kryptonia:
Describe your favorite and least
favorite part about being a musician.?
Samuel:
my fav part is def people loving m
music, telling me how a song i wrote
touched them, that hits hard, i feel
deeply and hearing one of my songs is
like sitting with me while i cry in rl,
its intimate and you see my soul, so
when people like it, i feel seen. My
least fav part is realizing that people
mostly want loud, karaoke backing
track sound, they want to be
entertained with lights and smoke
machines, me and my broken guitar
cant do that, im just a quiet soft guy
with a simple sound

interview
TymonAlexander:
We want to know about the role and type of community you are representing
in SL.
Gentle Heron:
Virtual Ability is two entities:
1. It is an international cross-disabilit support community, which means our
members have one or more of the following kinds of disabilities: physical,
mental, emotional, developmental, or sensory (deafness or blindness). Some
of us have multiple disabilities.
2. It is a real world nonprofit corporation, and as such we have certain legal
obligations that go beyond Second Life.
Gentle Heron:
We have info area and places in our land.
Auditorium
Our auditorium have no stairs, which is great for people in wheelchairs, the
width of the floor in front of the seats are big enough for person in a
wheelchair, they can go right in front of people seated and not crushing toes.
Some people who use wheelchairs in RL want their avatars to have them.
Blind people use a special SL viewer called Radegast. It allows them to see the
name of every object around them so they know the names/numbers of each
seat cushion.
Radegast is specially made SL viewer.
Two of our Virtual Ability community members wrote the help guide for
Radegast and another community member is the programmer for it.

Main public island
where we have couple of classrooms, our New Resident Orientation
Course (we are a Community Gateway recognized by Linden Lab)
We hold 2 annual professional conferences in this auditorium, in the
spring the Mental Health Symposium and in the fall the International
Disability Rights Affirmation Conference.
We also have events for our members just about every day. We have field
trip, dance and theme event. We do fun things together.
Health Info Island
This island is our public island where we provide health and wellness
information for the general public.
On your right you see 3 of the 8 poster sets we use to provide information
on a variety of topics. These posters are ones we use to help people find
other support groups in SL. You can click a poster to get information
about each group.
Kryptonia Paperdoll: All this banners are support group that exist in SL?
Gentle Heron: Yes correct Kryptonia, some are SL branches of RL groups,
like Alcoholics Anonymous and some only exist in SL
Gentle Heron: We also have our own Art Gallery on one of our residential
sims. It exhibits only works by artists with disabilities.
We have a Library on another of our residential sims that has only works
by writers with disabilities. We like to show that we are people with
Abilities, not just DISabilities!
Kryptonia Paperdoll: How many member do you have at the moment?
Gentle Heron: 1328 from 6 continents. We really are international. We are
all volunteers. Our corporation has no paid employees

ymonAlexander: Where the funds that support your facilities come
from?
Gentle Heron: Well, we are a nonprofit, so we of course accept donations.
But the majority of our funding is from work that we do for other RL
entities. We mainly help researchers who work in SL
Our clients have included universities, government agencies, and the US
Veterans Administration.
We work with lots of different entities. All of our work is done in virtual
worlds.
But what our contract work allows is we can train and then hire people
with disabilities to assist with research tasks.
They learn useful skills, and get paid for the work they do on that project.
Then they can find other work using the skill we taught them.
TymonAlexander: Well we would love to give our support
Gentle Heron: Your sharing about Virtual Ability with your readers is
helpful to us. Anyone with a disability is welcome to contact me.
TymonAlexander: We thank you for your dedication
Gentle Heron: A lot of teamwork, certainly not all me! We have a
corporate Board of Directors, or course, but that is RL.
Inworld we have an Executive Team that runs the day-to-day work. We
have lots of folks volunteering for different tasks, like holding a class,
DJing a party, running our blog and Facebook....So in a way everyone is
part of our team, our whole community.
