Diversity Rules Magazine

December 2011 My Two Cents by Jim Koury, Editor Welcome to the Decem- ber Issue of Diversity Rules Magazine online! I can't tell you how thrilled I am over this issue and the man that is on the cover. bled and honored to have him as the feature cover interview this month! I am so delighted that I have had the distinct privilege of getting to know him much better this year. Ace Lundon is an awesome individual who has worked very hard throughout his life to further the cause of equality for all. I am hum- authors, artists and other creative talents to ap- pear in Diversity Rules Magazine. I have also felt that it is very important to provide a vehicle through which others can express themselves. To that end I have a number of new columnists joining the Diversity Rules Family and will ap- pear monthly. I would like to welcome Milton Wendland, who will be writing an advice col- umn called, "Inqueeries." I would encourage you to contact Milton with your questions and he will try to answer them the best he can. I am confident you will enjoy "Inqueeries." Ace currently has a podcast internet show called "Lundon Calling." I have been co-hosting with Ace during the month of November, filling in for his regular sidekick, Lance Helms. Lance will be back at the "helm" in January! I en- courage you to go to the Lundon Calling web- site and take a listen to some of Ace's shows. You will sit and laugh I guarantee! I am really excited over what is happening with Diversity Rules Magazine. The digital issue has really taken off and is literally spreading around the world! I have a neat little revolv- ing globe on the magazine website that depicts where folks are viewing the website from. The little green dots are popping up everywhere. Diversity Rules is beginning to go viral! It is only a matter of time before the publication is back in print as well. I can feel it. With your continued support, it will succeed.
