Publisher’s Note
Women’s Month
In February, we honor Black History Month, and in
March, we celebrate Women’s History Month.
It is necessary to continue to bring awareness to these
minorities and put them at the top of our minds so that
everyone can support these communities and collectively
bring them up and closer to achieving equality.

Proof
As a woman entrepreneur, it’s always helpful to count
on organizations that provide access to resources. I was
fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in the
first CEO Retreat offered by WBEC South. I’m excited to
feature this organization during Women’s Month so others
know about the resources they provide to women!
I’m also excited to recognize Daniela Bello, a Latina
leader providing resources to our community.
Read about Mardi Gras and its facts as told by Arthur
Hardy and see why West Side Story matters for Latino
representation in entertainment.
Happy Black History Month Women’s History Month
and Mardi Gras!
