This week’s batch hit different and I had to say something. The reason we love it: every single one of these goes below the surface of what a glossy magazine usually does. These are the conversations we actually want to be having.
AoD Issue 003, Future Legacies. Conversations with founders and cultural architects on navigating expansion with integrity, and redefining what legacy means for Black entrepreneurship in real time. That focus alone is why this magazine matters.
Motley Bloom. A quarterly print magazine built around neurodivergent-first living, and it’s done so well. The space it creates feels necessary and long overdue. Tactile, sensory, intentionally loud. Unalike, together.
us It’s Okay to Try, from the By Way of Us team. Essays and conversations about change, evolution, and giving yourself permission to keep trying. Something so many of us are moving through right now. This one feels extremely relevant.
Profane out of France, devoted entirely to amateurs. People who make and collect purely out of love. No market, no audience, just obsession.
KATO, I Am Beams. Thirty years of one Beams buyer’s personal archive. Why he chose what he chose. A whole life in objects.
TOKY-LAND from Twins Brand Services. A fully invented fictional corporation built detail by detail through warning labels, HR manuals, and pharma packaging. Worldbuilding as art form.
And of course, the June issue of Popeye, Made in USA Catalog. Always a TOMO mags staple.
What ties them all together: people creating worlds that are intentional, built detail by detail, celebrating amateur voices taking risks to become experts on their own terms.
This is exactly what TOMO mags is for.
Come find yours 💙💙
