Kansas City's everyday heroes are celebrated in this issue. Readers nominated nine Kansas Citians who've been on the frontlines of the pandemic. Photographer and filmmaker Diallo Javonne French talks about his work, growing up in Kansas City, and the Black Lives Matter protests in the metro. Contributor Kelsey Cipolla rounds up ten (socially distancing) fun things to do in KC this summer. Two stunning spaces are featured this month: A Cedar Creek family asked interior designer Amy Thurston to create a contemporary home awash in neutrals, and a classic pied-a-terre in the Hemingway building was renovated by interior designer Leann Lynn. Departments and columns include beauty, wellness, and fashion, entertaining, expanded arts and culture coverage, recipes, and up-to-date info on KC's restaurant and bar scene.
