We saved our money for things like clothes, leisure fun and kept some money aside to pay at least one small household bill, usually the phone bill. Working back then was all about earning my own money, mostly to do the things I enjoyed. Saving…

Women all across America are finding their own. More and more women are courageously speaking their truths and stepping boldly and unapologetically into leadership positions in every aspect of society. This new found awareness of our own self worth is long overdue. To be honest, women have for centuries been at the forefront of change in America and Black women, whose contributions are historically underappreciated, are taking ownership of the notion that our history must be written by our own hands. In this edition of IMARA Woman Magazine, we focus on women in South Carolina and how we are creating…
Honoring Septima Poinsette Clark, Rallying for Justice South Carolina women rallied in Charleston on January 20th for electoral justice in commemoration of the first anniversary of the Women’s March on Washington. More than 3,500 women and men of all ethnicities gathered to honor the memory and legacy of Civil Rights pioneer and Charleston native, the late Septima Clark. The Women’s March was a reminder that Clark’s fight for electoral justice continues today and that women must not only vote but must run for public office. This issue’s cover highlights women’s efforts to achieve electoral parity in South Carolina.
