This month, I’m thrilled to take you behind the scenes of Where It Begins magazine, a project that’s been close to my heart for the past six years. What started as a passion for storytelling has grown into a platform where people from all walks of life can share their journeys. My guiding motto has always been: everyone has a testimony worth sharing. It’s incredible to see how this belief has brought together so many unique voices, each contributing to the rich tapestry of our magazine.

Our 8th issue is particularly special—it’s dedicated to the remarkable women in PR who work tirelessly behind the scenes. Public relations is a field that often goes unnoticed, yet it plays a crucial role in shaping narratives and building bridges. This issue shines a spotlight on the women who have mastered this craft, sharing their stories of resilience, creativity, and determination.

The inspiration for this issue came from a vibrant Facebook group called “Women in PR.” It’s a space where publicists from all over come together to network, share information, and support each other. Being part of this community has been incredibly enriching, and it was only fitting to dedicate an entire issue to these amazing women. Through their stories, we delve into the challenges and triumphs of working in PR, offering readers a glimpse into a world that’s as dynamic as it is demanding.

Released between 2020 and 2021, this issue arrived during a time when the world was navigating unprecedented challenges. Despite the difficulties, these women continued to excel, showing us all the true meaning of perseverance. Whether you’re in the industry or simply curious about the world of public relations, this issue is for you. It’s a celebration of women who are not only shaping media narratives but also empowering each other along the way.

I invite you to check out this issue, dive into the stories of these extraordinary women, and perhaps find some inspiration for your own journey. Where It Begins continues to grow, and I’m excited to see where the next chapter takes us. Stay tuned, and thank you for being a part of this journey with me!
