What began as a response to violence has grown into something deeper: mentorship, healing, leadership, and support for girls across Macon.

Since its launch, MVP has distributed more than $1.6 million to local nonprofit organizations working to uplift youth and provide safe spaces for growth.

Through programs like Girls Dig Deeper and PACE Center for Girls, young women are building confidence, relationships, and futures beyond their circumstances.

“What would you tell your younger self?”
That was the opening question of our Women About Business Coworking Session panel discussion: Soft Skills? Power Plays.

This central theme echoed throughout not only the day, but also our April/May Women’s Issue. Far too often, women are taught to measure their worth through productivity, caretaking, achievement, and how much they can carry for everyone else.

In the process, we forget that, at our core, we’re all just girls.
There is something powerful - and deeply healing - about sending reassurance back to that girl within.

Macon leaders Caryn Frey, Dr. Cassandra Washington, Dr. Penny L. Elkins, Dr. Keisha Callins, M.D., M.P.H., Erin Keller, Emily Hopkins, and Amelia Torres-Young share the messages they would offer their younger selves. And honestly, they’re truths we all need to be reminded of sometimes.

This Memorial Day, we’re revisiting “Half a Century of Sacrifice,” a story from the Macon Magazine archives reflecting on the lives, service, and sacrifices of veterans and military families.

A reminder that behind every uniform is a story, and behind every freedom is a cost.

“Rome was not built in a day, and neither is your home.”

Owner of , Abigail Sylvia’s home is proof that good design isn’t rushed, and definitely not one-size-fits-all. It’s collected, curated, and constantly becoming. (And if the house is burning down… she’s grabbing the trinkets.)

Two images. One reminder to vote today. Polls close at 7 p.m. Check mvp.ga.gov for your info.

Voting is never just a box to check. It carries history, struggle, protest, sacrifice, and hope all at once.

From artwork that reflects the generations who fought to be heard to the roadside signs reminding us Election Day is here, these moments exist in the same conversation.

Your voice matters. Use it.

From morning to evening, Women About Business Coworking Session was a day of coming together, listening, finding our shared stories, starting with those in our April/May Women’s Issue.

We took notes for our health from Dr. Keisha Callins, M.D., M.P.H.; accepted President Penny Elkins’s challenge; incorporated play; kicked off the morning with a dance; and had plenty of fun.
