It’s the first issue under a new era: new hands guiding the ship, new voices shaping the narrative, and a renewed commitment to storytelling that doesn’t just document moments, but excavates meaning from them.

Stepping into my role as Editor-in-Chief is more than a milestone–it's the start of something bold, something uncharted. And with any transformation, there’s always a tension—a pull between past and future, between who we’ve been and who we’re becoming. If there’s one word that keeps surfacing in my mind, it’s duality. 

In our lives, duality exists in the quiet contradictions we carry—the versions of ourselves we’ve outgrown but still hold close, the dreams we chase while honoring the roots we came from. And who better to embody this than Duckwrth, our cover artist for tmrw #51? His latest album, All American F⭐️ckboy, is an odyssey through duality itself—a reckoning of ego and evolution, chaos and clarity, self-destruction and healing. It’s a masterclass in sonic storytelling, where genres don’t just blend but collide, creating something entirely new.

Through the alter ego Vice, Duckwrth unpacks the complexities of toxic cycles, generational trauma, and the choices that define us. His music doesn’t just entertain—it interrogates, it confronts, it demands reflection.

Storytelling, at its core, is the art of understanding these fragments. The pieces of us that seem separate but are, in fact, part of a greater whole. With this issue, we embrace that complexity. We go beyond surface-level narratives, past the obvious, and into the depths—where identity, artistry, and possibility intertwine. Only by exploring the in-between, the unknown, do we truly begin to see what’s possible.

tmrw #51 explores this theme of duality with all of our features this issue – both in narrative and in imagery. Ronen Rubinstein discusses how good can come from bad experiences; Daisy Marquez balances a career in beauty and aesthetics with grounded, real-world charitable initiatives that affect real change; Natacha Karam dilineates the difference between fighting against something and fighting for something; fashion editorial Fraternité: Pillars of Us explores how softness and vulnerability can provide strength to men in black communities; Scotty James' snowboarding career demonstrates how to be both relentless and reflective; and Caroline Romano embodies duality as a soothing, fun personality writing challenging, heartbreaking music. There's all that and so much more in this next curated, collectible reader.

This is the new tmrw. A space not just for what’s next, but for what’s deeply felt. For stories that challenge, that unearth, that remind us who we are and who we’re becoming. Welcome to tmrw #51. Welcome to the future.

With intention and hopeful impact,
