Let’s Meet shawn:
Hello. What is your name? How long have you been involved in the entertainment business?
Miss Shawn Chavis, Founder/Editor in Chief of Bronze Magazine, a digital lifestyle magazine that celebrates, empowers and inspires
women of color. Bronze magazine was founded in 2010.

When did you know that you wanted to be in this business and what was your motivation?
I was motivated by my inner spirit to create Bronze Magazine. I've always been an advocate for women's empowerment especially
women of color, so I created Bronze out of concern and frustration regarding the one-dimensional images depicted of African-American
women in mainstream media. Bronze Magazine celebrates and inspires the lifestyle of today
