Alan Cumming on Liberace, Traitors and Living Your Truth

To know stage and screen actor Alan Cumming is to love him, his flamboyant fashion style and all of those over-the-top characters he has portrayed during his decades-long career. It is no wonder his "Shakespeare-quoting Machiavellian fashion diva" host character on the four-year-old competition reality show "The Traitors" has already earned him multiple Emmy Awards. His campy, theatrical persona seems to be a hyperbolic version of himself.

From Drumsticks to Destiny: The Inspiring Musical Odyssey of John Parenti

John Parenti's story begins in New Jersey, where a childhood encounter with music set the course for his life. At 4 years old, he walked in on his older brother's band and something ignited within him.

The young boy practiced diligently and immersed himself in learning music.

That villain has a name: inflation.

From the Editor

A new year brings change, and with it, we welcome the first edition of 2026. The start of a new chapter always invites reflection as we think about what we're starting, what we're letting go of and what we're carrying forward. New beginnings rarely arrive with fireworks. More often, they show up in small decisions, consistent work and the choice to keep going when the future isn't completely clear.
