Inquiries to: Charleston Women Magazine P.O. Box 22617, Charleston, SC 29413 843-881-1481 For marketing information, email: GetMore@CharlestonWomenMagazine.com We aren’t sure there is a team on the planet who love their jobs more than the team at Charleston Women. Everyone cares so deeply about the finished product of this magazine, not only because of the artistic expression, but because of what it stands for. We all collaborate to discover the women shining so brightly from every corner of the greater Charleston area. Each of us are present at the cover shoots because we want to make sure the energy of these incredible women we come to know is shining through. When we say #wearecharlestonwomen, we mean it. We’re all in this together. Perhaps this idea of togetherness is why the women entrepreneur issue of the magazine is one of our very favorites. We get the privilege of telling the stories of women who have fought hard and made it. We get to be the platform from which these women get to set an example, share in camaraderie with others and celebrate all they’ve done. Every story is unique. Women in all kinds of businesses — real estate, medicine, photography, food, style and more — are showcased here. The most amazing part is learning about the extremely diverse paths each took to get where they are. Some were harder than others, but every single one had to overcome something, whether it be finances, health issues, mindset or confidence. The important thing is that they got there, and we’re here for it! In the following pages, you’ll not only be introduced to the best businesses and the women behind them, but to incredible stories of giving back to the community. Flip to our philanthropy section to learn about female-run nonprofit organizations. These savvy, business-minded women were each called to use that acumen to lift up people who need help the most. What’s more inspiring than that? Come with us on this journey through trial and error, trepidation and triumph. Learn about the businesses you can be proud to support, the women you can aim to emulate and the future you can dream for yourself. This is the women entrepreneur showcase. Thank you for letting us present it to you — as Jane would say — dear reader. The Team at Charleston Women From the Team Stacey McLoughlin, Lorna Hollifield and Katie Finch.
