Take a sneak peek into the Women’s Issue with special extended clips from our interviews with women who are shaping Macon — and the world. If you’ve read the stories, you’ll gain extra insight from these bonus features. If you haven’t cracked it open yet, we hope the wisdom of these women will inspire you to grab a copy and explore.
First, Macon native Valerie Montgomery Rice discusses lessons in leadership during Morehouse School of Medicine’s 50th anniversary — and how her mother used to whisper affirmations in her ear while she was asleep.
Later, Secretary of Culture and Humanities RaeLynn Butler shares her mission for the Muscogee Nation and what Macon is doing right as the city looks toward making the Ocmulgee Mounds Georgia’s first national park.
In the spirit of the Women's Issue, join our celebration of local soul by telling us who has mothered or mentored you. Send us a voice memo about a special woman you want to highlight. How did she help bring you into your power? Email it to hello@maconmagazine.com and we may feature your story in our next episode.
Plus! We'll see you at our Women About Business coworking day, sponsored by Cox Communications, on May 15 at the Overlook on First. Visit our social media or website for more details.
