The Platform Magazine Description:

Welcome to The Platform Magazine!
The Platform magazine is here to provide inspirational and educational stories from all over the world. Our goal is to create a new forum for exchange of information on all aspects of positivity and inspiration. The past few years I have learned from other individuals from all over the world how to motivate and encourage others to succeed. I have made this personal conscious decision to share these stories with you in this new inspiring magazine. This magazine adheres to both the positive and inspiring spirit, which is shared among other individuals.

“Voice your Inspiration”

The Platform magazine was launched to inspire others with stories that may never be heard. As a scholar professional in biology, sports psychology, physiology and health wellness, I have found that these positive inspiring stories help others mentally to succeed. I would like to encourage you to submit original stories and notes as well as opinions for future magazines.
The platform magazine will be a inspirational resource designed to increase awareness and education of health, and inspiration. Our long- term goal is to continue to work with individuals all over the world and spread the love and peace of inspiring individuals.
On behalf of the entire editorial team, please let me start by conveying my sincere gratitude to all of our many authors and reviewers who have submitted papers for this magazine. This magazine wouldn’t happen without your inspiring stories.
Thank you for reading,

Judy Staveley, B.S., M.F.S., M.S., Ph.D.
