she mail in every issue DEAR SHE, DEAR SHE, As a former resident of Hartsville, I grew up reading She Magazine, and I believe the stories that you publish about strong women had a profound impact on me at an early age. Coming from a rural area, I believe it’s important to have a magazine that focuses on women-centric issues. DESIRAE GOSTLIN • COLUMBIA, SC DEAR SHE, I want to thank you for featuring Miss S.C. Sweet Potato Festival, Chelsea Bullock, in your January issue! Thank you for helping promote our wonderful organization! WILL ISGETT • DARLINGTON, SC DEAR SHE, I love your magazine! I really enjoy the stories about people who have overcome hardships and been blessed in their Christian walk. I also really enjoy the fact that some of the articles are about ordinary people we know and love. I just wanted to thank each and every one of you over at She Magazine for the wonderful time I experienced in being a part of the January issue. Ms. Ashley Elvington and Ms. Haley Tucker were so nice to me and very professional. Mr. Collin Smith was so nice. He made me feel so comfortable, I felt like a real model! And, the proof is in the pudding. My photos are so awesome! This part of my journey has been so enlightening for me. I am so glad that I was able to share my story through such a trusted magazine. I feel really good about the way my life was captured. I wanted to tell somebody, anybody, that they are not alone. There are people who have been in worse situations than theirs and they can overcome those battles. My children have never been more proud of me. My son said, “Mommy, we’re famous!” I replied, “We are not famous; we are just trying to make a difference in this world.” I have so much to shar e and I am bursting at the seams with joy... Your magazine did that for me! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making a girl’s dreams come true. I just wanted to be heard, and now I have so many people seeking ME for advice. It feels so great to be able to help others constructively. I have a voice and I no longer wait to be spoken to. She Magazine is a great forum for inspiration and information. Thanks for all that you do! And, that is a thank you to everyone from the press to the delivery to the minds that put it all together. I thank God for each and every hand that helped me share my transformation! IESHA PETTY • FLORENCE, SC DEAR SHE, Thank you, She Magazine, for such an inspiring January issue! It is refreshing to read the stories of local women we all know and love, who have lost weight. Thank you for helping me kick off my new year!
