We probably say that every time, but somehow it feels like it keeps getting better. With every new magazine release, we the team, get to meet more fascinating women in our town and the surrounding areas. Women in Charleston come in all forms. They are so very complex. There are elements of old South merging with the melting pot we’ve become. There are natives and transplants. There are spices of diverse cultures seasoning what was already here. It’s all merging and becoming this persona. The Charleston woman is often someone who has her own story and uniqueness, but is among other diamonds, shining beside them— the cuts and inclusions diverse but the shine all the same. These women overcome and stand out. That’s the most common theme. The women here chose this place. They saw the beauty of the Lowcountry — the marshes, the history, the fashion, the hanging moss — and fought tooth and nail to be a part of it. This issue is great because it also highlights the Lowcountry in bloom. This is the outdoor issue. There are practical tips on building the perfect garden parties and getting out for some exercise while connecting with other women. But there is also something more. In every article it becomes more evident that our women reflect the nature around them. They imitate the prestige of a flower rising from the unforgiving ground — in business, at home, everywhere. They break through and find the light. As you read along, we hope that you will become inspired to connect. Connect with us, connect with your fellow women. Afterall, #WeAreCharlestonWomen. Follow along on Instagram (@CharlestonWomen), and on Facebook under Charleston Women. Cheers! The Team at Charleston Women From the Team The Char l e s ton Women t eam.
