Charleston Women-Summer 2021

www. Char l es tonWomen . com | www. ReadCW. com | www. Char l es tonBr i des . com CW - 7 W ith each issue of Charleston Women, we strive to bring you interesting content – valuable tips and inspiration from women just like you. While this summer edition profiles women in business, real estate and medicine, it also includes interesting pieces such as our cultural feature on quinceaneras for Hispanic Heritage Month in September. Look further in the issue and read about the local women in leadership behind animal sheltering in the Lowcountry. Thumb through our philanthropic features on Jewish Family Services supporting our local area through the pandemic and learn more about The Formation Project, which is working to end exploitation and human trafficking. There is no end to what women can do – or are doing at the local level. Remember, we also have the Charleston Women Podcast, hosted by Erin Kienzle, a woman everyone can identify with: a hard-working mom in a blended family, as well as an entrepreneur involved in our community’s charitable activities. Listen in at CharlestonWomenPodcast.com, and be sure to read Erin’s Forward on page CW9 too. We always welcome reader feedback and suggestions for content, and we hope you will finish this issue feeling like you are taking away something positive and useful for your daily life.
