For some, storytelling is a skill. For Dr. Diamond Lee, it is survival. Long before it became a brand pillar or leadership tool, storytelling was the difference between being misunderstood and being seen, between being silenced and standing firm. At the intersection of entertainment, advocacy, and business, her journey reveals what happens when lived experience is no longer hidden—but honed. This is not about reliving trauma for applause. It is about reclaiming narrative control, translating pain into precision, and using voice as a vehicle for clarity, access, and lasting impact.

What if waiting at the table was not awkward, but powerful?

Dear John The Box, the wellness platform redefining singlehood through healing, culture, and self-connection, has partnered with legendary R&B artist Karyn White, the voice behind Superwoman, to launch a Solo Dining Directory and Spotify Soundtrack designed to ease anxiety during one of the most overlooked moments of dining alone: the wait.

This collaboration was born from a simple but revealing insight. According to internal data from Dear John The Box, solo diners did not struggle most with eating alone. They struggled with waiting. That quiet stretch between ordering and the first bite often felt emotionally charged. Women described feeling exposed, pressured to appear busy, or subtly judged for taking up space alone. Phones became shields, and the moment meant for rest turned into something to rush through.

Locs have always held deep cultural, spiritual, and personal meaning within the Black diaspora. They are not simply a hairstyle. They are lineage, resistance, identity, and self-expression woven together. LOCnificent approaches this truth with intention, joy, and reverence, without the need to over-explain or defend it.

Created with one core purpose, LOCnificent exists to celebrate the beauty, power, and cultural significance of locs and natural hair as they are. The festival is intentionally designed as a joyful, affirming space where natural Black hair is not questioned or justified. It is the norm, the centerpiece, and the celebration.

Across the country, minority-owned nonprofits are facing a quiet but devastating crisis. As funding streams shrink and philanthropic priorities shift, organizations led by people with lived experience are being asked to do more with less, even as the needs of their communities continue to grow. Ironically, these same organizations are often the ones creating the most innovative, human-centered solutions. Silent Cry Inc., founded by Shawanna Vaughn, stands as a powerful example of what is possible when advocacy is rooted in lived truth rather than distant theory.

Shawanna Vaughn’s story begins where many advocacy narratives end. She was born in prison to an incarcerated mother, a reality that placed her inside the criminal justice system before she ever took her first steps. That experience did not fade into the background of her life. Instead, it became the foundation of her purpose.

FEMI Magazine | A Note to Our Community

As we step into 2026, FEMI Magazine is entering a new season.

After reflection, prayer, and careful planning, we are intentionally shifting our publishing model.
In 2026, FEMI Magazine will move to a digital-first platform, with curated Digital Cover stories released throughout the year.

To be clear, FEMI Magazine will no longer publish bi-monthly print issues. Instead, print will be reserved for special edition releases only, thoughtfully curated and released at select times during the year.

This shift allows us to focus on storytelling with depth, flexibility, and alignment, while continuing to center healing, faith, financial literacy, mental health, love, and the lived experiences of Black and Brown communities.

Print is not disappearing. It is becoming more intentional, more meaningful, and more collectible.

To our readers, contributors, and supporters, thank you for growing with us. Thank you for trusting the vision. Evolution is sometimes necessary for elevation.

This is FEMI Magazine in 2026.
Purpose-driven. Community-centered. Unapologetically us.
