Pierre A. M’Pelé, known as Pam Boy, is a fashion critic, writer, and editor whose bold voice challenges industry norms with wit and insight. His publication SCRNSHT, released by IDEA, explores the complexities of digital life through a sharp, creative lens.
SCRNSHT issue 2, ADHD, dives into the fast-paced, often overwhelming digital landscape, following M’Pelé’s official ADHD diagnosis.
“SCRNSHT issue 2 ADHD is like my brain: a complicated, chaotic mess that can take me and you in any direction. ADHD can be a powerful locomotive for creativity.” — Pam Boy
SCRNSHT celebrates the diversity in digital experiences and elevates voices from a range of perspectives.
