Sumaya Kazi is the co-founder of The CulturalConnect, a site that publishes six weekly e-magazines for the young, driven and forward-thinking. It has over 600 published interviews of awe-inspiring young professionals, and a fast growing readership in over 100 countries. Each weekly magazine and website delivers accessible, must-read profiles of the professional world’s often overlooked population of driven, innovative, progressive and successful under-35 leaders to an expansive subscriber base of up-and-coming individuals of the same type. Each e-magazine connects young minority professional with each other and to the nonprofit world: The DesiConnect, The MidEastConnect, The LatinConnect, The AsiaConnect and The AfricanaConnect.

The site features the following three sections.

Young & Professional Profile where interviews shed the image of the suit-sporting, Blackberry-toting young professional, who spends the hours of 9am-5pm chained to his/her cubicle. It gives new meaning to what it is to be young and professional. The section spotlights a community of young leaders that are bonded by success digging through unmarked offices and use untraditional methods to find undiscovered young talent across various ethnic communities and across various industries.

Non-Profit Spotlight recognizes that young professionals also channel their passions toward non-profit ventures. These organizations, often glazed over or lumped together in mainstream press, are granted the Spotlight in each of our weekly issues. The Non-Profit Spotlights educate and awaken readers by spotlighting young individuals in the Non-Profit community - bringing issues affecting the young professional community to the forefront.

ConnectionPoint which is a new and highly popular feature of the site encourages and enables you to interface directly with Young Professional and Non Profit young professionals, allowing you to build both professional and informal networks with people you find inspiring.
