I want to thank all of you for making our Summer '26 issue a success. I absolutely loved creating it with my team, and bringing a vision to life. But even more special is to see my art being adored and shared by women across the nation, and around the world. I can't begin to tell you everything I have been through to get to the point of creating Bloom Magazine. It was A LOT. I know with all of my heart that Bloom Magazine is my calling. It has been brewing in me since I was a little girl. I know, it sounds so cliche, but it's true. I used to create magazines in my room instead of playing with dolls. I once even convinced my friends at recess that we should create a fashion magazine. The following week, we organized a full on photoshoot with disposable cameras at my friend's house. We even mailed copies of the magazines to book stores, and waited anxiously if they would carry our magazine entirely made by hand, by a bunch of 4th grade girls! My drive behind Bloom is sincerely my desire to build women up around the world, to make them realize what they are truly capable of, to lift their veils and allow them to see that a bigger life is absolutely capable of being a reality for them. I want Bloom Magazine to be the guide, inspiration, and platform responsible for the magic behind female founders.
Please continue supporting Bloom Magazine. Our vision for this brand goes way beyond the magazine alone. We have several branches of Bloom Lifestyle Co. completely planned out, but we are working on funding in order to make this movement possible. We are in awe at the response from our audience, and know this is going to be huge. So, I ask that you continue to read, follow, share, subscribe to the magazine, buy the issues, collaborate with us. I am reinventing editorial and lifestyle for women entrepreneurs, be part of the movement with me. - XOXO, Charlene
