Dear BELLA Readers,

It is important to acknowledge and accept individuals for who they are, including those who identify as drag performers, Queer, and non-binary.

Acceptance of diversity is crucial for creating a world in which everyone feels safe and accepted for who they are, regardless of their race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other aspect that makes them unique. It is essential to respect and support individuals of all backgrounds by embracing their differences and celebrating their uniqueness. Everyone deserves the right to express themselves freely, and it is vital to create a welcoming and inclusive environment that nurtures creativity and self-expression.

Our Women of Influence Issue is one of my favorites to publish. When you really think about it, it's pretty remarkable to see the influence so many women have had over the course of our lives. And in this issue, my team and I set out to celebrate women from all walks of life and acknowledge just how fabulous they are.

At BELLA, we believe in empowering our readers to create and maintain meaningful relationships that enrich their lives. To kickstart this empowering journey, I am so excited to feature the incredible Tamsen Fadal, an Emmy award-winning journalist, author, and powerful advocate for empowering women everywhere. Tamsen's wisdom and expertise will leave you feeling motivated and ready to embark on your own journey of self-discovery and love.

Your health + wellness are the most important things in your life. They literally impact how everything else happens and is received by you.We’ve learned in time that wellness is not just about physical activity and good nutrition. It includes positive choices and a sense of fulfillment. It helps to know that having overall wellness includes these seven dimensions: mental, physical, social, financial, spiritual, environmental, and vocational. These dimensions are interdependent and influence each other and when one dimension of our wellbeing is out of balance, the other dimensions are affected.
