October 2026
October is about celebrating the women who are building businesses, leading organizations, creating opportunities, and making an impact in their communities. In recognition of National Women’s Small Business Month, this issue shines a spotlight on the remarkable women behind businesses of all sizes and the ideas, leadership, and determination that continue to move their industries forward.
This month’s cover feature, centered around Dr. Cheri Seagraves and the Power of Aligned Leadership, explores what it means to lead with purpose, clarity, and intention. Her story reminds us that effective leadership is not simply about reaching the next level of success—it is about understanding who you are, where you are going, and how you can bring others along with you. Throughout this issue, we also hear from many of the women who make up the Awepra community, sharing their businesses, experiences, challenges, and journeys toward success.
