The October issues of Social Eastern Shore, Social Coastal and Social Mobile are All About Women — celebrating the strength, resilience, and incredible accomplishments of remarkable women. We are thrilled to GO PINK in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and excited to include our Women of Excellence (WE) segment. WE shines a light on women who are making a difference in the community and in their respective fields.

In Survivor Stories, we are honored to share the journeys of six courageous women who have faced breast cancer with grace and determination. Their experiences serve as powerful reminders of hope and underscore the importance of lifting one another up through life’s challenges.

We also highlight additional women who are creating meaningful impact throughout our community in our features.

This issue is packed with exciting events from across the Eastern Shore, South Baldwin, and Mobile — many of them organized by and focused on empowered women. We hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as the Social Magazine team enjoyed bringing it to life. We are humbled by your continued support and grateful for the opportunity to share the stories of these inspiring local individuals and organizations.
