Below is a story that appeared in Alaska Beyond magazine in July 2019 Seattle native and 19-year NBA veteran Jamal Crawford grew up with a basketball in his hands. By the time he was 8 years old, he says, he was already hitting reverse layups while other kids struggled with the basics. Yet the sport that shaped Crawford’s life might not have done so had it not been for an experience he had in a professional-amateur league in Seattle. To this day, the pro-am now led by Crawford and called The Crawsover allows Seattle-area fans to see top talent up […]

Below is a story that appeared in Alaska Beyond magazine in June 2019 For Los Angeles-based chef Roy Choi, who is often credited with spearheading the modern high-quality food truck movement, and who has dedicated his life to feeding people of all walks of life, real societal change happens with each basket of produce sold and each plate of food served. Choi’s TV show, Broken Bread, which launched in May, aims to prove this point. In the show, Choi, who was born in South Korea and grew up in the Los Angeles area, highlights restaurants and organizations that are implementing social progress through […]

Below is a story that appeared in Alaska Beyond magazine in May 2019 Seattle music producer Ryan Lewis, one half of the Grammy-winning rap duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, remembers telling his elementary school class that his mother was HIV-positive. Julie Lewis, now a 35-year survivor, contracted the virus in 1984 from a blood transfusion during the complicated birth of her first daughter, Teresa. Julie wasn’t diagnosed until 1990, after she had given birth to Ryan and a second daughter, Laura (both fortunate to be free of the virus). The disease has been a part of the Lewis family’s narrative […]
HUMP, SPLIFF, Love And Advice: A Conversation With Dan Savage
Friday, April 12, 2019 17:36 — 0 Comments
Dan Savage, bestselling author and nationally syndicated sex advice columnist, likes to laugh. The pleasant outbursts were sprinkled throughout our conversation. He laughs when praised and he laughs when asked to offer up his thoughts on a grand idea like love. His is a comforting laugh, not one of nervousness or deflection. Rather, it’s a laugh of largess and enjoyment. A laugh in response to the very real, very odd world looming all around us. I recently caught up with Savage to talk about his touring amateur pornography festival (HUMP), his new cannabis-inspired film festival (SPLIFF) and to ask, yes, […]
Lavender Country’s Patrick Haggerty On Music, Love And Life, Itself
Wednesday, April 3, 2019 19:19 — 0 Comments
I didn’t have the heart to tell Patrick Haggerty, front man and songwriter for Lavender Country, the first openly gay country band to release an “out” album, that I wasn’t gay, though he lovingly assumed I was during our conversation. But not telling Haggerty about my sexuality is beside the point, of course. As you’ll see in the interview, it doesn’t take sexual orientation to make for kinship. By the end we were saying “I love you” to one another. Haggerty’s is a story of artistic success devoid of financial gain. But, later in his life, after a series of […]

Below is a story that appeared in Alaska Beyond magazine in February 2019 San Francisco Mayor London Breed knows the importance of community support at the right time. A native of the Bay Area, Breed grew up in the Western Addition housing project in San Francisco. However, an internship with the nonprofit Family School when she was a teenager helped change her life. Breed, who was elected mayor in June 2018, is partnering with Alaska Airlines and other businesses to give that same opportunity to thousands of low-income young people in the San Francisco area. The mayor’s new initiative, Opportunities […]
