I

may start to sound like a broken record each issue, but — once again — I’m so proud to bring you the exciting, one-of-a-kind contentthat makes up this magazine wecall Culturs. As you know, themissing “e” in our name stands forthe hidden diversity of our readers— evidenced in the varied visual,hidden and multiplicity of identityin this and every issue.

Publisher’s Letter

As you can see in “Praise forthe Spring Issue,” (page 8), thispublication brings such joy to somany (myself included) to finally,finally, finally see, read, watch (onlineat cultursmag.com or on our YouTubechannel) and experience the beauty ofthe in-between. The stories are so richand the experiences so powerful; it isan honor to be the one to make thisvision a reality.

We went a little different direction this time around by going the way of the multicultural superhero. At WonderCon in Anaheim, Calif., USA , I had the pleasure of meeting The Creative Extreme, creators of more than 600 globally diverse superheros and villans, (cover story, page 77). As expected, the conference was a people-watching cosplay feast for the eyes, and for some, the soul.

We had the pleasure of connecting with the multicultural crew from ABC’s Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I fan-girled at actor Nichelle Nichols of Star Trek fame, and swooned at the ground-shaking bass in veteran sci-fi movie actor Kevin Greivioux’s voice (Underworld is one of my favorite movie franchises of all time). Myriad multi-talented, global, multicultural in-

betweeners could be found at most every turn. With the unprecedented success of the Black Panther movie in the Marvel Universe and Crazy Rich Asians, Hollywood has finally taken notice that movies featuring casts of color are viable money-making powerhouses. In the same way that the NBC television network’s “This is Us,” series and ABC’s “Fresh off the Boat” and “Modern Family” truly show the varied, multi-dimensional, un-cookie-cuttered lives many of us live, they also show audiences yearn for content to which they can relate.

SeriesFest (page 90) — touted as the Sundance of television series — shows the trend continues, with diverse, multicultural content featured from around the globe. From web series features to streaming like Facebook Watch, global series presentations and U.S. network television with an exclusive premiere of NBC’s “New Amsterdam” (page 92) there’s some amazing storytelling coming at you this fall — no matter where you live.

Along those same lines, we continue to tell the stories of some amazing Third Culture Kids (TCKs), including Military B.R.A.T.s, diplomat kids, Cross-Culture Kids (CCKs), multiethnic and multiracial families this issue (start on page 26). On the Shoulders

of Giants (page 28)begins the amazing tale of a firstgenerationAmerican Japanese family wheredescendants relay the heroic deeds of theirpatriarch fighting for the U.S. in World WarII while, simultaneously, his future sister-inlawlived in a U.S. internment camp becauseof her heritage. Dr. Rhonda Coleman talksabout the stress of alternating among twoor more languages or language variationsduring coversation, or code-switching, as it’ssomething many of our readers experience ineveryday life (page 260).

These amazing cultural shifts — andhistorical perspectives — await as youperuse the pages of this summer issue. Ican’t wait to hear your thoughts.
