What, or rather who, makes the world go round? Kinfolk has drilled deeply into the idea of living with intention, but for Summer 2024, we’re dedicating a special section of the magazine to the dynamic forces that can rub up against it: power, money, politics, people. With a focus on forces for good, Issue Fifty-Two ventures into realms of political maneuvering, whistleblowing courage, philanthropic endeavors and the activism and ideas that are transforming our shared future. Featuring intimate interviews with inspiring personas whose actions have had a positive impact around the world, The Influence Issue explores the complex balance between personal authenticity and the powerful currents that shape our world.
