We had the good fortune of connecting with Ciara Horton and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ciara, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
I never considered entrepreneurship for myself but knew I was good at leadership. I then begging to do research on startup cost and made it happen.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
She Is E Magazine is a platform that have provided women the opportunity to share their stories. We give a platform to the everyday woman. I’m most proud about how it’s evolved into more than just a magazine. It’s impactful to so many women. I’ve only gotten to this point by learning from my mistakes and realizing those were hard lessons. Nothing is easy and sometimes relationships end but it’s all love. We outgrow things and even people so it’s no love lost. A lesson I learned is perfection doesn’t exist. Hardwork and a good reputation do! I want the world to know that your story matters. Even the ugly part. Never be ashamed to tell it because it could save someone’s life.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If bestie was here for an entire week, we would definitely go into the city and eat at Eddie V’s. We like art so we could swing by the Mint Museum and catch a movie.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Shout out to my entire village that supported this dream! Special thanks to my creative team Elesha, Ashley, and Latrina. They continuously contribute to the magazine monthly.
