About the Editor

Trystanne
Cunningham

Trystanne Cunningham is a multi-hyphenate powerhouse as the Founder, Editor In Chief, Publisher, and Creative Director of TrooRa Magazine and the TrooRa Founders Club. Haitian-born and California-bred, Trystanne is a self-made entrepreneur with an eye for exquisitely curated content. She has been featured in esteemed platforms like Medium’s Authority Magazine, AK Brown Haute Guide Podcast, Voyage LA, Exeleon Magazine, Cyrus Webb Podcast, ABC7 News – KGO Bay Area and San Francisco News, and other specialized publications such as Rolling Out and Valiant CEO. A former interior designer, decorator, and event planner, Trystanne fuses her eclectic experiences into her current roles, crafting a unique aesthetic that has become TrooRa’s signature. Though she started college with a focus on Political Science and Psychology, her detour into Drama and acting revealed her ultimate passion: storytelling. Trystanne’s love for magazines has its roots in her cross-cultural upbringing, and it manifests in every meticulously designed page of TrooRa Magazine. She’s not just a creative; she’s a change-maker committed to diversity, equity, and empowering underserved communities.

I have a responsibility to confront the inequities that we face as black, brown, Asian, indigenous, LGBTQ+ individuals and I believe that the most often overlooked are the most important to listen to and showcase. I am thrilled with the way we manage to romanticize all things human in chic fashion through the pages of TrooRa and TrooRa Living Magazines and the events that make their featured stories come to life.
