Once upon a time, a mother named Sarah was on a quest in her local magazine store, hoping to find something delightful for her daughter. What she found instead was a sea of disheartening publications, each one focused on hairstyle tips or etiquette lessons, featuring girls plastered in makeup on the covers. “It was like a parade of ‘look pretty and be nice’ messages,” Sarah recounted in an interview with a leading magazine. Frustrated, she left the store determined to create a better option for young girls. And so, alongside her daughter, they launched a crowdfunding campaign that would become legendary—enter Kazoo magazine!
Kazoo is the groundbreaking publication aimed at girls of all ages, from five to 35, that encourages them to embrace their strength, intelligence, and authenticity. “We need to show our girls that they’re capable of so much more than just looking cute,” Sarah emphasized in a chat with another parenting blog. “They can be loud, creative, and curious about everything from science to art.” With a rich background in journalism, Sarah had worked at various esteemed magazines, and when they began their Kickstarter for Kazoo, they quickly realized they weren’t alone in their mission. In just 30 days, they shattered records, making it the most successful journalism crowdfunding project ever.
The aim was clear: to provide young girls with inspiring content that fuels their ambitions. “I want every girl to feel celebrated for being her smart, inquisitive, silly, strong self,” Sarah explained. “The world is brimming with possibilities, and I want her to know she can achieve anything.” The magazine’s debut issue is packed with exciting features, including a DIY boat-building guide, a maze inspired by the incredible Diana Nyad’s swim from Cuba to Florida, engaging science experiments, and so much more.
