Editor's Letter

Dear Readers,

I still stand here in amazement, marveling at what God has done with His magazine. At first, I believed He called me to create just a pamphlet, a small leaflet-type of medium. Never have I been so thrilled to be incorrect. We are beginning 2022 with The Iconic Issue and Mrs. Simone I. Smith. The word “Icon” has many definitions, but the one that stands out to me is this: a person or thing that is highly revered. All things are a matter of perspective, right? When I think about what’s Mind Blowing about our cover feature, it’s what lies within her that is so reverenceworthy … her unwavering faith! As you flip through these pages, you'll learn more about how she became who God prepared her to be, and you’ll understand why she reflects such a beautiful representation of an “Iconic Woman.” We also had a conversation with Monyetta Shaw-Carter. The grace in which she moved through life’s challenges led her right to her happily-ever-after. In addition to the powerhouse Women of God already mentioned, God continues to Blow my Mind! He has brought us five women who are on fire for Him and are bringing their gifts to MB Mag to bless you! Please help me welcome Toni Emehel, Marquita Smith, Ty Harper, Tamara Bradshaw, and our first international contributor, LeAnne Dlamini. To round it off, Toni Collier bestows us with a devotion that will bless your soul. As I write this, knowing all that God has done and catching a glimpse of what He’s doing in 2022 already has me filled with so much excitement and expectancy! I pray you are blessed and encouraged as you turn each page and take in the message of love that God has allowed us to prepare for you.

XO, Stacy
