People are on a mission. They are living out their leadership. They are uplifting those around them. When hurdles come along their way, they keep building.

While this issue is dedicated to LA’s conscious culture, world stories, and engaging conversations, we still wanted to to go deep with every story. We wanted the stories to represent a collective vision: to see others differently – not just for their title or appearance, but for their value and worth. Why so personal?

About the cover:  We wanted to capture this idea of an individual reflecting on life coupled with a cool LA scene. A group of us were walking in the downtown LA area, and we were like – this could be an awesome cover. I love it! #ConsciousLA www.consciousshop.co
