Meet the Publisher—Deborah Mekenese

Active Mamma of Four & Outdoor Enthusiast

Education

Originally, I was a Photography & Graphic Design Major, then got my MBA and built an international sales team. When the opportunity to Own/Publish a beautiful magazine arose, it was a natural fit!

Time Abroad

Much to my mother’s dismay, I landed a job as a live-in Nanny in the Alps, then moved to France with a bike, backpack & snowboard. Spoiler alert: one year turned into 15.

Raising Warriors

I’ve been an avid martial artist since high school, starting in TaeKwonDo, then Muay Thai & ultimately falling in love with jiujitsu. Find me at Fuse Martial Arts and Fitness, where I train and coach my own little warriors.

Guilty Pleasures

In France, they call it a guilty pleasure, but in America, we call it self-care! I love a dry red, generally oak-aged, and a high percentage dark chocolate. I am always on the hunt for fresh baguettes. 

Outdoor Living

I enjoy hiking with my children both locally and abroad. I grew up running around the woods with my dad behind Madeira Middle School and we love to muck around Caesar Creek on the weekends.
