Diversity News Magazine has released its Summer 2026 Special Edition, putting Los Angeles community leader and advocate Bamby Salcedo, President & CEO of The TransLatin@ Coalition, on the cover.
The special edition recognizes Salcedo's work in advocacy, visibility, inclusion, and community empowerment. The cover was created as a surprise celebration of her contributions and the importance of representation in media.
Salcedo and The TransLatin@ Coalition were also honored at the 1st Annual Diversity News Magazine Awards 2026 with the Transgender Advocacy & Community Empowerment Award.
Beyond the cover story, the new issue brings together coverage from communities across Los Angeles, highlighting events and people who contribute to the region's cultural and community life.
Among the featured stories is coverage of the 45th Annual Lotus Festival 2026, celebrating the culture and heritage of Sri Lanka. The issue also highlights the 2026 Salute to Recreation Family Festival in Northridge, bringing families and community members together through recreation and local programming.
The stories reflect Diversity News Magazine's ongoing focus on community news, cultural celebrations, diverse voices, and people and organizations making a difference.
The Summer 2026 Special Edition is available to readers digitally at no cost, while a print edition can also be ordered through MagCloud.
