Happy February!

If January felt extra long this year, you’re not alone… which is why February always feels like a breath of fresh air and I’m so happy to be welcoming you into our February issue.

This month’s cover feature spotlights Imprints Cares, a nonprofit that holds a very special place in our hearts. Their work supporting children and families in our community is truly inspiring, and we’re honored to help share their story and impact with our readers.

You’ll also find a very special article featuring my Pop Pop Charlie, who turns 92 this month. I’m in awe of his lifelong commitment to staying active, and I truly believe that movement has played a huge role in his health and longevity. It’s a reminder that caring for our bodies (at every age) really matters.

Looking ahead, our 5th Annual Women on the Move Conference is happening next month on Thursday, March 19, at Legacy Stables and Events. While it’s a women-focused event, it’s one I love sharing with our Forsyth Family audience as well because when women feel supported and balanced, entire families benefit. Our theme this year is TRAILBLAZE: The Path to Balance and Brilliance, and it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable day.

I’m also excited for our Galentine’s Girls’ Night Out on February 11 at Robert Hall! A fun night out with your best gals, great music, signature cocktails and mocktails and plenty of celebration.

As you plan ahead, be sure to watch for our Summer Camp Section launching in our March–May issues. We’ve been running this section for several years, and it’s one of our readers’ favorite planning tools for organizing their kids’ summers all in one place.

And don’t forget about the Forsyth Magazines Podcast! You can listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major streaming platforms, or watch full episodes on YouTube at YouTube.com/@forsythmagazines.

Wishing you a February filled with all the LOVE!

Brooke Culler

Brooke Culler is the publisher of Forsyth Woman and Forsyth Family Magazines and the voice behind the Forsyth Magazines Podcast. Born and raised in Clemmons, NC, she now calls Winston-Salem home. Though she earned a degree in Elementary Education from High Point University, Brooke followed her passion for storytelling and community connection by jumping straight into the world of publishing after college.

In addition to leading two of the Triad’s most-loved publications, Brooke is also the co-owner of Washington Park CrossFit—where she merges her love for fitness, leadership, and building strong (literally and figuratively) communities.

Outside of work, you'll find Brooke soaking up quality time with her husband, their two dogs (a Bernedoodle and a German Shepherd), and their crew of family and friends. She’s happiest on the water, wake surfing in the summer, snowboarding in the winter, and squeezing in CrossFit workouts all year round.

Brooke’s heart for local connection, positive impact, and high-energy hustle keeps her calendar full—but she wouldn’t have it any other way.
