Editors NOTE

Deborah Risper

Spring is here and with it comes fresh blooms, renewed energy, and a chance to grow in new ways.

This April, we celebrate the season of rebirth while honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a reminder that planting seeds of justice, equality, and love will always bear fruit. We also dig into the beauty of Gardening 101, because just like our dreams, gardens flourish with patience, care, and intention.

In this edition, we shine a light on Autism Awareness, amplifying the voices, stories, and strength of families and individuals living boldly and brilliantly on the spectrum.

Here’s to new growth, powerful stories, and a season that reminds us everything beautiful begins with planting a seed.

With love and purpose,

Deborah S. Risper Editor-in-Chief Women of Excellence Magazine
