Who but Queen Mary J. Blige could inaugurate the launch of our second annual #CulturedLivingLegends issue? The singer, songwriter, actress, producer and newly-minted wine entrepreneur represents the resilient and innovative spirit that has come to shape our conception of what it means to be a legend. In a season overshadowed by uncertainty and loss, we found ourselves attracted to individuals like Mary J. Blige who have embraced life’s challenges through constant reinvention, but without losing the beat of their own intuition.
A Look Inside the Issue:
We present leaders and role models Titus Kaphar, Daniel Lee, Janelle Monae and Yara Shahidi. A special additon to this issue is the inclusion of two pieces from winners of our first ever Writers Grant, in partnership with Parker Pen.
