A Texas Star Arrives
April 2008

For the last five years, I have been growing the idea of a magazine focused on diversity – a magazine that would enlighten and challenge readers. With the arrival of Texas Diversity, I see a tremendous opportunity to appeal to a wide array of people in the community since our magazine is all about inclusion.

I want Texas Diversity to be a source of knowledge about the benefits of diversity and its impact, not only on business performance but also on community well-being. Texas Diversity will provide a platform to celebrate diversity and create a healthy discussion on the topic of diversity in our state.

With this in mind, our inaugural issue features the Most Powerful and Influential Women in Texas as a way to honor the accomplishments and contributions of female leaders in our state. We explore other women’s issues, including work/life balance and taking smart risks to ensure success. In other stories, we examine the business case for diversity, the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, and the impact of a nonprofit organization on a predominately African-American community. As part of our Sections, we offer insights on diversity best practices and financial literacy.

Creating a magazine from scratch is no easy task, and the team that I was able to assemble has done a great job making Texas Diversity happen.  I invite you to be part of this dream come true and the journey that follows it. And on the way, let us hear from you, our reader, as we are here to serve you.
