About Us
(EXTRA) ordinary PEOPLE is a monthly digital publication that covers the successes, hardships, self-discoveries, and monumental stories of extraordinary people who make up Chicago’s common population.
​
(EXTRA) oP strongly believes in accurately representing hardworking humans and illuminating their life stories. This means:
​
– Taking a story for what it is. Never fictionalize or exaggerate a story for our personal gain.
​
– Not being afraid. Sharing even the not-so-picture-perfect stories if it’s for the greater good.
​
– Always finding the UP. Even if the road is rocky, always find the triumph in someone’s story because everyone has one
