About the CEO, Mr. Lynn F. Bailey

Maleocity Magazine is a web publication for men of color. This magazine was founded by Mr. Lynn Bailey, a 35-year-old black man with a bachelor’s degree in Journalism from Indiana University Southeast. Learning Photoshop, photography skills, InDesign, and graphic design gave him the essential tools to create his own publication. Growing up, he always envisioned owning a men's magazine; he wanted a space where men of color could be celebrated and honored for their accomplishments. Aside from his men's magazine, Lynn has been a professional photographer for 13 years, and he’s had a men's fashion editorial published in Picton Men’s Magazine in 2019, City Slicker Editorial with Model Justin Samson. Being published in a men's magazine inspired Lynn to create his own magazine celebrating men of color, providing them with a safe, positive platform. We accept web submissions and print submissions, and the print magazine is printed quarterly. We feature web features every month. Print Magazines are sold exclusively via HP Mag Cloud. Our magazine, Maleocity, was inspired by the Centric male model show, Model City, which sparked my idea to create a men’s magazine in high school.

Mission Statement: Maleocity Magazine is an independent digital men's lifestyle and culture publication dedicated to celebrating, empowering, and amplifying the voices of Black men while embracing the diverse experiences of men of color across communities. Through compelling editorial storytelling, fashion, entrepreneurship, career development, and creative expression, Maleocity provides a platform where men are recognized for their individuality, accomplishments, ambitions, and contributions to society.

Three Dimensions of Maleocity

Representation: Providing positive, multidimensional portrayals of Black men that go beyond stereotypes, highlighting their intellectual, professional, artistic, and personal accomplishments.

Professional empowerment: Creating opportunities for men to gain visibility, share their career journeys, promote their businesses, and inspire others pursuing similar paths.

Cultural inclusivity: Welcoming men from other racial and ethnic backgrounds without losing the publication's central commitment to Black male representation.
