📣 The Final Chapter—And a Bold New Beginning

For 11 years, Diversity in Action has been a platform for powerful storytelling—spotlighting innovators, disruptors, and changemakers in STEAM. 🌍✨
Stories rooted in resilience, creativity, and impact.
Stories that reflect the full spectrum of who we are.

And now, with gratitude and pride, we release our final issue of Diversity in Action.

But this is not the end.
It’s an evolution.

Because from this moment forward, the legacy lives on in a bold new form:
🔥 Innovators at the Intersection — our next chapter.
Same purpose. Louder voice.
Where culture meets STEAM and stories spark change.

Published by our legacy brand Diversity in Action Media, Innovators at the Intersection will be a bi-monthly publication and monthly podcast—already launched and expanding.
This new format allows us to go deeper, reach wider, and stay true to what matters most: impact, inclusion, and innovation.

We close this chapter with hearts full and eyes forward.
And we do it with a powerful sendoff:
💥 Our annual 20 Under 20 list.
🌿 A cover story featuring climate activist Genesis Butler.
🛠️ And countless voices building a more inclusive, innovative future.

This is a bold evolution of the work we’ve been putting in for over a decade—not a departure.
We will continue to uplift, to lead with purpose, and to build bridges between brilliance and belonging.
