Letter From the Editor

It’s March which means it’s Women’s History Month. It is during this month that all the trailblazing women and girls are honored and celebrated.

I come from a family of strong women, and I see daily what women do for their families, churches, schools, jobs, and more.

Every March, Women’s History Month provides an opportunity to honor the generations of trailblazing women and girls who have built our nation, shaped our progress, and strengthened our character as a people. Beyonce said, “Girls Run the World” and apparently whatever she says is Bible, so this must be true.

The girls on my team are strong and powerful.

This month I wanted SWAG to be all about the girls. All the features are about women; important women in my community and women around the world. The girls on my team are strong and powerful. They are creative, bold and change agents. Not only do I celebrate all the women around the world this month, but I truly want to celebrate the girls on my team: Karleigh and Michaela.

As women continue to fight for equal pay, equal opportunity and the right to be seen and heard, I support them. After speaking with women in my community, I realized my role in media helps move their cause in the right direction because it brings attention to what they’re doing.

To all the women around the world and especially to those in my family, my church, my school and my community, SWAG celebrates you and honors you. Happy Women’s History Month!
