Growing up and into adulthood, I’ve always had a small, tight-knit group of female friends. No one understands me like my ladies, and I’m grateful for them each and every day. They’ve helped shape me into who I am today and continue to influence me to be my best self.
As I’ve evolved into a small business owner in Scottsdale, I’ve met SO many incredible women who influence and inspire our community every day. This issue features just a few of the incredible women here in Scottsdale, from a tennis star who grew up in the shadow of her twin brothers to now making a name for herself or a mom who’s a published author and an MLB wife. We, as women, are so much more than just one thing.
Being a woman in today’s world is ever-changing. We hold many roles and titles in everything we do—business owner, employer or employee, wife, mom, chauffeur, friend, so on and so on. All of these makeup who we are as a woman and individuals. As we gather to celebrate all the moms this month, remember that is just one role she plays. She’s so much more and probably wants to be seen for all she does, not just the good job of raising a child.
So, this Mother’s Day, let’s celebrate all the important things Mom does for us. And for the women who aren’t moms, you’re pretty incredible, too.
Happy Mother’s Day,
Alicia Haygood
Owner/Publisher
