Inside This Issue

One of the most rewarding things about creating media platforms is that we get to control the narrative and raise awareness of topics that are meaningful to our gender and to our culture. Additionally, we are able to show public love, honor, and respect to true game changers and innovators within their respective fields. Our covers for Serendipity Media Group Publications vary from celebrities, change agents and influencers to community, business, and ministry leaders; all of whom are well on their way to being recognized for their lofty and unselfish contributions! Such is the case with this holistic, fundamentally sound, informative, and loving issue showing what total transformation and healing from the inside out looks like. When we allow the time and space for God to do His work, it is evident for all to see. We never meant to be under cared for and neglected while we serve everyone else. After all, in this life, as we allow God to lead us, we should be the leading ladies of our lives. If we do not focus on, celebrate, honor, encourage, and cheer ourselves on, it is likely unrealistic that anyone else will.

On the cover: Quiet Transformation. Self-Prioritization. Healing from the Inside Out. Total Women’ s Wellness. Walking in Wholeness. Introducing our very own Sister and DIVA Zone Royalty, Adrienne Dawkins-Smith. She takes us along on her beautiful journey to her amazing Flexzone Life. We are culminating our primary focus on Self-Care this Summer and this is the final part three issue in this Special Edition.

Overview: The DIVA Zone™ Magazine is blessed with the awesome opportunity to share an issue dedicated to our Self-Care as a priority. With tips that are practical in nature, easy on our budgets, nourishing to our spirits, and edifying to our very souls. Our beloved publication is gearing up for the long anticipated 2025 print version( with national distribution) and continues in the current electronic format which will allow us to expand our magazine even further and make your reading experience more interactive; and prayerfully more readily accessible. It is also our hope that our readers are encouraged to electronically share with many others what we believe to be a quality, well-balanced publication for our sisters.
