Editor’s Letter We celebrate victories in all its forms in this issue. The women on the cover are making political history by being the first (Sharice Davids), the youngest (Alexandria OcasioCortez), or the only (Michelle Lujan Grisham) in their position. We all look forward to the Christmas holidays when we can celebrate with family and friends. That said, we include all kinds of holiday dishes, hobbies and even travel options. Some people may avoid going further north for a vacation during the winter, but Whistler Resort in Canada may change your mind. Read all about the cool – literally – activities in our travel section. In the world of entertainment, we feature Victoria Loke from “Crazy Rich Asians,” one of the most popular movies this year. Loke’s professional journey should provide inspiration for aspiring actors. We also include former Susan G. Komen executive vice president and chief marketing officer Katrina McGee and her goal to bring personal growth to women everywhere through her Loving On Me workshops. Similarly, women’s studies author Becca Anderson offers us some badass affirmations and advice from badass women.

We review two of her latest books that are filled with clever quips, powerful pointers and informative biographies. While some women need hope to celebrate life, others need hope to cope with loss. We cover the latter in a bereavement boot camp offered by Carole Brody Fleet. Celebrating the holidays not only includes food, family and friends, but it also includes fashion. We include the exclusive designs of three amazing female designers. They range from business and casual looks to cocktail dresses and evening gowns. Most importantly, we want you to begin to focus on your own outlook for the future. So we remind you to participate in our annual #TheMeEyeSee campaign by posting your declaration for the future. Remember, you must first see it, say it, and then be it. Look out for our upcoming issue which is a special December edition on food, which we all will get more than enough of during this season of festivities. Enjoy,
