From Comedy To Culture: Ali Siddiq And Terri J. Vaughn Embrace Living Differently

EntSun -- Being alternative isn't just a lifestyle—it's a state of mind. The most iconic ideas and successes come from daring to step outside the norm. So, how are you revolutionizing the world with your unorthodox approach?

Our cover stars, Ali Siddiq and Terri J. Vaughn, embody the power of living differently.
Ali shares: "People make mistakes, and my stand-up is basically built around that—you are not your mistakes. The road is tough no matter what path you're on. You need mental fortitude to achieve your goals."

Terri adds: "I want to address real issues in a way that makes them easier to talk about, that makes us feel comfortable laughing at the absurdities of the world."

This issue is packed with fresh perspectives to inspire your journey—whether in beauty, fashion, or the arts. Dr. Yolanda "Yo-Yo" Whitaker offers her keys to glowing skin, reminding us: "I love to pamper myself at the spa while reading motivational books."
