Our 30th anniversary collectable edition is out now
BY DIVA STAFF
Thirty years ago, the very first issue of DIVA magazine hit newsstands. For our 30th birthday issue, editor-in-chief Roxy Bourdillon pens a decades-spanning cover story that commemorates the history of both our publication and our community. This collectable edition is a must-have addition to your bedside table.
