The entire issue focuses on honoring and recognizing the amazing women of our area, past and present. Our She Shines awards, highlighted throughout each section, showcase various fearless females who shine in their fields. We have featured a handful of those winners and finalists on our cover, shot by a winner herself, Stephanie Selby. These aren’t models, but actual women who make a difference in our Lowcountry communities in fields of wellness, style, arts and food service. The concept of the cover is always a collaborative effort within our team. We start tossing around ideas and often come up with unique locations with editorial themes. Many times, they are very involved. We’ve built scaffolding, pulled permits, commissioned local celebrities and shut down roads to get the perfect shot. However, this time, we found ourselves longing for a simple statement. We wanted to exude feminine energy in a powerful and festive way which represented the women our readers voted as women who shine. The look of the cover, with every shade of pink — tones as varied and delightful as women can be — spoke volumes in an understated way. The confetti in the air was just a little bit of icing on top, the women themselves the flavor. Sometimes it’s better to just show what we want to in the simplest form. We wanted to show women shining, celebrating their victories together. I believe we did just that.
