Charleston Women Summer 2022

www. Char l es tonWomenPodcas t . com | www. ReadCW. com | www. I ns tagram. com /Char l es tonWomen 6 One of the best parts of putting out Charleston Women is that it’s so much fun. Not only do our staff get the chance to mingle with the faces behind the stories, but the women within these pages get the chance to meet and pour into one another. In the end, that’s what it’s all about. We hope you noticed the logo on the front of the magazine. It’s more than a logo to represent the brand that so many women are a part of; it’s an idea to represent an entire movement. We chose the phrase, “We are Charleston women” because we cannot exist separately. We are all a part of the same community, and the idea is to thrive together. We want mothers, businesswomen and leaders of the female community to join this effort. We love seeing you all build one another up, cheer one another on and help one another to succeed. That’s the meaning behind Charleston Women. The ladies on the cover represent Charleston women in business, and South Carolina women in real estate. These are some of the hardest-working women in the area, and you’ll find their stories inside. Each story is different. Some stories are about starting from scratch; some are about starting over and some are about continuing legacies. The important thing is that they show what any woman, from any walk of life, can do with a spark of inspiration. Those individual sparks became a united flame burning brightly at the cover shoot that took place on the cotton dock at Boone Hall Plantation. It was a glorious thing to watch. We invite you to become a part of that flame that’s getting brighter by the minute. Join us by reading along, or by sharing your own story.
