About Madeline Rose - Actor, Photographer & Community Builder

Since I was a preteen (and far too young to be on the internet if I'm being honest), fandom spaces have been my foundation for learning how culture works. From early Tumblr chaos to the discourse mines of stan Twitter, I've watched over the years how our collective obsessions reveal truths about power, identity, and belonging. My drive for understanding took me from passive consumer to active analyst - someone who connects the dots between the stories we love and the world we inhabit.

Today, I'm the founder and editor-in-chief of The Convergence Lens, an independent publication where pop culture meets political reality. Our work spans investigative journalism, cultural analysis, media literacy education, and amplifying social justice causes - all rooted in the understanding that fandom isn't frivolous. We treat fan culture as vital literacy that equips us to decode broader systemic patterns.
