BRICKS #14 The Resilience Issue explores what it means to be resilient – the ability to successfully adapt to adversity, the capacity to withstand difficulties, and the tenacity to bounce back from hardship. These acts of courage are worthy of celebration, but what happens when the pressure to persevere gets too much? What are the repercussions when resilience is normalised, or even glorified? How do we honour this strength while acknowledging its sacrifices? ⁠Our latest issue investigates the importance of resilience and also the burden of it, the insecurities it breeds, the fatigue it encourages, and the tokenism it can perpetuate. ⁠

On the cover, we meet the illustrious Anna Delvey – the ultimate enigmatic NYC socialite who understands reinvention and resilience better than most. Here, Delvey discusses her audacious rise and fall – from selecting her courtroom fits to launching new business ventures – with trusted friend and The Outlaw Agency co-founder Kelly Cutrone for this hilariously candid conversation.

Also on the cover, trailblazing musician Cat Burns, who has been developing renewed openness in her musical career following her diagnoses with autism and ADHD, shares her focus providing a voice for Black, queer, neurodivergent women in music.
