There’s something powerful about a room full of women who have lived a little — okay, a lot. Women who have built careers, raised babies, pivoted paths, and still show up every day with fresh ideas, ambition, and just enough caffeine to keep things interesting.
This Ladies Issue is a celebration of exactly that.
We are a team shaped by years of experience, stories, and strengthened by the balance of motherhood and ambition. We are the ones answering emails with one hand and managing full lives with the other. The ones who bring strategy and spontaneity. Big visions and evolving routines.
At the center of it all is Jordan Sakalian, Publisher, and a mother of two whose journey began in the fashion industry as a personal stylist while raising her children as a young mom. What started as a creative path evolved into a dynamic career across industries, spanning executive assistant and strategy roles, ultimately leading her into the role of head of brand marketing. She brings a sharp vision and entrepreneurial instinct to everything she builds. She leads with resilience and intention, creating space for herself and the women around her to rise.
Guiding our voice is Managing Editor and Writer Jennifer Lee, who brings over 25 years of experience in hospitality and storytelling. As the founder of Chalet Creative, she is passionate about building community, creating meaningful collaborations, and crafting experiences that feel thoughtful and lasting. She brings a thoughtful, strategic approach to her work, blending creativity, curiosity, and intention into everything she touches.
Behind the lens, Staff Photographer and Creative Director Jessica Snow captures more than just images; she captures feeling. Rochester-born and raised, now rooted here with her family. Her perspective is connected to the community she captures. With a love for storytelling, her work now extends into brand photography that feels expressive and elevated.
This is just the beginning, thank you for being part of the ride.
