A global magazine and network,

home of heritage and identity.

We connect diasporas to their roots and brings cultures

together, from the Arab world to Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

OUR MISSION

See the world differently:

  • explore destinations in a meaningful way, through people, not just tourism.

  • discover heritage-driven brands, creatives & entrepreneurs.

  • get real guidance for a more meaningful, connected way to experience the world.

OUR WAY

And we do that by:

  • sharing new narratives, diaspora stories & heritage brands.

  • connecting the non-Western world & its diaspora, acting as a modern Silk Road.

  • establishing a global network for travel, mentoring & meaningful experiences.

PROUDLY PRESENTING


This magazine is a Proud Mary Production, one of the premier content marketing collectives in Europe, founded by Mariam. Drawing inspiration from heritage and cities, Mariam has already made waves by launching in the German-speaking area and capturing global attention with her video productions.

Now, she embarks on a new independent venture aimed at proving that we are all stronger together when we share and learn from each other’s stories. This initiative focuses on narratives that mainstream media often overlooks—whether they involve women, native populations, or other misunderstood groups. We are committed to sharing the diverse and inspiring stories of people mainly from the non western world, celebrating our collective potential.

If you have any questions or need further information, please don't hesitate to reach out. Please note, participation in this platform is by nomination only, to ensure our independence and integrity.
