Our Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are core values at AFTER Magazine. We are committed to producing premium inclusive and equitable content in print, and on our digital channels and social media platforms.

Our stories, recipes, and images must offer a welcoming, inclusive, entertaining, and respectful experience for diverse readers and viewers.
To help hold ourselves accountable to our diversity, inclusion, and equity goals, DEI goals are included in our official brand, department, and individual goal-setting and as part of performance reviews.
