The
Beginning To satisfy my journalistic education and creative abilities,
I wanted to provide a publication that celebrated and honored the every day lives
of women, so in February
2005, Giving Voice was created. Over a thousand copies were circulated
throughout London. There was such a great response and I was encouraged to keep
it going. The second edition followed in April
2005 with 1,000 copies circulated. Last August things changed. My vision
grew stronger and it became apparent a magazine such as this was needed. The title
was changed to WomenSpeak in order to signify what the magazine was about.  |
Now WomenSpeak
is a bi-monthly magazine that celebrates the wonder in women's woven lives. Women
are showcased in stories that honor and celebrate their experiences in personal
and professional aspects with a focus on empowering women and celebrating their
achievements and victories. Each issue features articles about artists/artisans,
healers, spirituality and women and work, and at least one story about a community
organization whose mandate is to help or improve the lives of women. Submissions
from other women are also welcomed. Three editions have been produced so far;
October/November 2005, December 2005/January 2006, and February/March 2006. Five
thousand copies were printed in the first and second edition and the third has
over 10,000 copies printed. Response continues to grow and it is becoming quite
popular in women's circles. Many heartfelt thanks to all the extraordinary
women in my life who have supported this birthing; I am forever grateful for your
friendships.
