It is al- most fall! e year is flying by fast, as usual. ey certainly seem to go by much quicker though! is month's feature is an interest- ing one and a bit different from previous features. e Faith Lift Party (FLP) is a movement started by Christopher Logan (a.k.a. DJ Logan's Run) with his partner Sam Coffie (a.k.a. DJ BRGZR). Started in 2017, Faith Lift com- bines spirituality with inspiring tunes, top DJs and an unbeatable vibe, FLP offers a unique space for people to let loose, be themselves, and let the rest be history! In such trying times in which we live, FLP is a breath of fresh air. It can help bring people together in a safe, non-judgemental environ- ment. Faith Lift Parties occur each month, with then next one coming up on September 17th at C'mon Hall in Brookly, NY. If you are in the area, and want to experience something different, then stop on by! is month's issue also contains some great features along with the regular columnists that appear each month, such as David-Elijah Nahmod and Tony Guadagnino. Diversity Rules Magazine will be- gin to undergo a tranisiton soon. It is my intent to revamp the pub- lication and update it, as well as fo- cus on getting it back in print on a subscription-only basis once again. Diversity Rules is my passion and I simply want to share it with as many folks as I can. Stay tuned! With that said, I hope your fall is a good one. Always remember to be the individual you are. Don't ever be anything different! Diversity Rules Magazine PO Box 72 Oneonta, NY 13820 James R.
