About This Issue
Women are the pillars of our society, shaping families, businesses, and entire communities. This month, we honor the remarkable businesswomen who gracefully and persistently juggle their careers and personal lives. Each woman contributes her unique talents, weaving together the vibrant fabric of South Mississippi.
Our Women in Business edition is dedicated to celebrating these incredible women. In this special section, you’ll meet the female leaders of the
Gulf Coast, hear their stories, and discover more about their businesses. You’ll also find articles
that highlight the strengths women bring to the workplace and offer valuable advice for achieving personal and professional harmony.
In celebration of this issue, we hosted our second cover reveal party and got to mix and mingle with the women who are the backbone of our community. The cover features eight of our Women in Business, each from a different career field, to represent the women of the Coast. Special thanks to the White House Hotel for hosting this shoot, Crystal Cagle
of Moxie Shop and Crooked Coast for letting us borrow her super cute pink bench, and, of course, to our beautiful models who were a blast to work with. Seriously, we had so much fun!
Thank you to all of our advertisers and those
who attended our reveal party. Special thanks to Island View Casino Resort for hosting the event, as well as our vendors, Snaparazzi Photo, Alpha-Lit, Pretty Pumped Balloon Design, La Passion Artisan Chocolates, and Pugh’s Floral Shop. Thanks to these amazing businesses, this year’s event was the best one yet!
Without further ado, let’s meet our 2024 Women in Business!
Love
