It is so hard to believe another year is quickly coming to a close. Where does the time go!? I welcome this month's feature inter- viewee, Scott Turner Schofield and what a remarkable individucal he is. I am honored to have him included in this month's issue. Scott is an award-winning performer and highly acclaimed diversity speaker on Transgender issues. Inviting a pre- sentation, workshop, reading or per- formance guarantees high-level, in- depth exploration of the T in GBLTQ aimed at welcoming beginners, af- firming communities, and equipping advocates. At least, that's what univer- sity administrators, artistic directors, and HR departments have been say- ing for over a decade now. He brings a generous heart, and an intersectional approach - and a knack for winning over conservative, tradi tional audiences - to clarify questions and provide practices for respectfully coexisting with men, women, and ev- erybody else. ere are some other great features in- cluded in this month's issue as well. If you have not yet done so I would en- courage you to subscribe so you don't miss any of these exciting features. I want to also thank all those who contributed to the Indiegogo Cam- paign and helped spread the word on their Facebook pages and other social media. While the goal of $5,000 was not reached, the $1,000+ will cer- tainly help to bring Diversity Rules Magazine's print edition back and to help with some other projects. If you missed the campaign, never fear, as their will be another opportunity to suport the magazine with the "perks" left over from the campaign. Stay tuned!
