There’s no doubt that two-time Emmy Award-winning actress Heather Tom’s star is on the rise; her lengthy list of credits include film, television and the stage (even starring on Broadway). Her day job, playing Katie Logan on the daytime television series The Bold and the Beautiful, keeps her busy - but not so busy that she doesn’t have time to support the causes she believes in.

Laura Kate Whitney, Manifesto Destiny

Laura Kate Whitney has only been a Magic City resident for a little over two months, but she is quite certain it won’t be long before she uncovers her own magic here. A new place a laptop and a spirit of adventure are the only requirements for this woman with a mission to learn Birmingham back to front. Her blog, entitled ‘Magic City Manifesto,’ documents her story, as she explores and comments on the history, happenings and future of what has quickly become home.

When did you move here? 
We landed first of December and have seen only three sunny days since our arrival.

What were you doing in Charleston before you moved here? 

Enjoying all the beautiful views.  I worked in the special events industry, producing corporate galas/meetings, weddings, social events, etc…Now I stay at home with my toddler son.  It’s been a bit of a culture shock, to say the least.

Where did the idea for your blog come from?

If you ask bestselling author Lori Lansens where she finds her muse she will tell you, “My muse is the ON switch on my computer.”

“I’m a Cinderella story,” Lori told me. “I have to admit that I have a fabulous lucky life. I’m an ‘overnight success’ that took 20 years and a roller coaster of ups and downs to get here.”

Teresa Davis: Design Pioneer

“I don’t regret opening my new business in a challenging year.” Teresa Davis isn’t referring just to the challenges of this year’s economic climate. On January 31 of last year, she endured what she calls two life changing “events.” The youngest of her three children ventured off to college that morning, leaving her to cope with the proverbial empty nest, when she received a phone call with much more unexpected, grave news. Her husband of 25 years, a very skilled and experienced pilot, had died in a private plane crash. “I would have never guessed that's the way he would die. He was a pilot since he was 13 years old, he was a military pilot and he had logged tons of hours. It was a huge shock. I knew from that point I would be forever changed. I refocused, redirected and reminded myself there was a reason God left me here.”

Sandie Taylor - Working (for the) Woman

Sandie is a feminist that gets right down to business. “I don't regret going back to school for an MBA,” she says. “Even though the program at Wake Forest is currently male-dominated and pushes me to my workload limits, it’s forcing me to find my voice in the classroom, which is often an unpopular, feminist one.” Before coming to Wake, Sandie worked for a Latina teen magazine in Austin, Texas called Latinitas. Though her work at Latinitas was incredibly fulfilling, she realized that having her MBA would allow her to do more. She eventually plans to bring her business savviness to a non-profit aiding women and girls. In the meantime, she’s an acting activist in the classroom. “I’m developing a reputation,” she says. “Now, when there’s a diversity or women’s issue, everyone starts looking to me.” Sandie blogs regularly on Working for the Woman, sandietaylor.wordpress.com.

Lawren Desai - Film Curator

Most people don’t regret leaving. “I don’t regret coming home,” says Lawren. After bouncing between Los Angeles and New York City, pursuing dreams of filmmaking and production, Lawren returned to Winston-Salem. She graduated with her MBA from Wake Forest in 2004 and she started a family. Now she’s bringing a bit of the big city to Winston-Salem with the independent theatre, a/perture. “A friend told me it’s the perfect marriage of my interests,” she says. The cinema is located downtown and houses two, 80-seat theaters. The film genres range from independent, foreign, and art-house. “They’ll be award-winning films that aren’t already being screened here,” she says. Though Lawren thought she would never move back, it seems she’s found her place. “I’m exactly where I want to be now,” she says.

a/perture plans to draw back the curtain Friday, January 8. Visit aperturecinema.com for more info.

Cotillia Willaims - Faithful Woman

Cotillia is a woman of faith. It’s what got her through the death of her husband in 2006, her close friend in 2008, and her cousin in 2009. And it was faith that consoled her when she chose to bring five children into the empty home she was to share with her husband, children widowed by the deaths of her cousin and friend. Today there is a new family that cooks dinner in the kitchen where Cotillia once sat up nights painting a mural of a tree. “I added a limb each time I felt like I was going to give up,” she says. It’s a home full of laughter and grieving and love and hope. “I wanted one [child] and I wanted it to be mine, but now God has managed to give me five,” she says. “I don’t regret leaning on Our Father. I don’t regret taking in the kids, the love, loving my husband. I am so grateful and so full.”

Christien Baxter : Your Makeup Gal

“I don’t regret leaving my full-time job and benefits to follow my dreams,” says Christien. The beauty guru is leaving her job in the spring to attend makeup school in Orlando. The light at the end of her tunnel? A full-time makeup business, and her bliss—special-effects makeup. “I still can’t sit through a TV show or a movie without wondering how the makeup was done or how I would do it differently.” Her life isn’t all buffed to a shine—the makeup maven juggles a day job at the Disabilities Board of Charleston County, night shifts waitressing and working out her website’s kinks, and weekends making brides beautiful. Not to mention networking, networking and more networking. “I always tell myself, ‘Okay, let’s get to this next step and see what happens. If this works, keep going. If not, reevaluate.’ Inevitably, the next steps just keep coming and keep making themselves more and more obvious.”

Laurie Thornhill : Wonder Woman

“I don’t regret being a late-in-life mom,’” laughs Laurie, who was changing diapers while having hot flashes and lived to tell about it. Granted, it wasn’t ideal—peri-menopause and toddler tantrums are two things best kept apart, but Laurie sees the plus-side of waiting till age 34 to marry and age 39 to have her daughter, Lucy. “I was apprehensive, for sure,” says this mile-a-minute go-getter who was in the prime of her busy real estate practice and had signed paperwork to open a new food service business the same day she learned she was pregnant. “The truth is, I’m a much better mom now than I would have been when I was younger.” Wisdom, patience (well, sometimes) and perspective are all perks of being an older parent, Laurie’s discovered, and Lucy appreciates her mature mom’s sophisticated taste in travel. A few years ago they celebrated birthdays in Paris—Lucy’s 6th and Laurie’s 45th. Bring on the candles!

Ginger Rosenberg : Politico

“I don’t regret running for office,” says Ginger, even though the District 10 city council seat was whisked out from under her by only 44 votes in a run-off. The first-time campaigner and top vote-getter in the initial election first considered her run in early 2009. “I felt my corporate background, non-profit career, volunteer work and knowledge of the Charleston community had all come together at a point that coincided with a realistic opportunity. If I didn’t run, I would regret it for the rest of my life.” Luckily, Ginger handles marketing and program development for the Center for Women and had “accidentally” attended campaign training workshops as a sideline staffer, so she was prepared for the basics. She was unprepared, she jokes, for seeing her name in print: “You have to get used to viewing yourself as a product with features and benefits.” Considering putting your name on the ballot? She quotes Eleanor Roosevelt, “You have to do that which you think you cannot do.”

Cat Lambert : Locally Grown Skirt

“I don’t regret staying in Charleston,” says Cat, though Tortola, BVI, was magic, all blue water and sparkling sun (but no pluff mud) and Atlanta was super-charged in a business-bustling way (but wasn’t home). Cat tried living in both places, but knew she belonged back here in Charleston—where her family has roots, where she was born and raised, went to college, graduated, left and came back again, and is as pleased as pluff mud that she did. “I could never find a place that makes me as happy as I am here,” says skirt!’s new advertising director, a 15-year veteran of print ad sales. The James Island native grew up waterskiing, fishing, shrimping and crabbing—and still finds pleasure in the fine art of chicken neck tying. When not helping local retailers grow their businesses, Cat’s at home gardening, painting or walking Bear, her dog. “I’m totally G-rated,” she laughs, “and I’m addicted to the Lowcountry way of life."

"I don't regret..." Abby Peoples, Survivor

“I don’t regret my mastectomy,” Abby says. She lost her grandmother, father, and beloved sister Alicia Sanderlin to cancer, and tested positive for the breast cancer gene, giving her an 84% chance of developing breast cancer herself. But Abby took action, giving up her healthy breasts at 29 years old with a double mastectomy, hoping to beat the disease before it appeared.

“The cancer gene that my family has is just so aggressive,” she says. “I couldn’t sit back and wait on it to get me.” Now Abby is confident she’ll be around to watch her two-year-old daughter grow up.

“I saved my life,” she says. “I won’t say that I have not endured a lot of pain, because I have. I will not say I have not shed a lot of tears, because I have. But I will say I will soon be as good as new without the worry of having breast cancer and would do it all over again if I had to.”

"I don't regret..." Ellen Thames, Mom

“I don’t regret the decision to adopt my son from Guatemala,” says Ellen. “The minute I saw his photograph, he was my son.”

For her, she says, the most difficult choices for her and her husband came at the beginning of the process: deciding between a domestic or international adoption, and then choosing the country through which to adopt their child. “We just felt drawn to Guatemala,” she says.

Although adoption isn’t for everyone—there are applications, months of waiting, and lots of uncertainty—Ellen wouldn’t hesitate to do it all over again. “I think the most difficult part was that we knew we wanted to be parents and we were committed to that, and we just needed to figure out how it was going to happen,” she says.

Her son, Mac, is all the proof Ellen needs to be certain that her choice was the right one. “He is three, and he is such a joy,” she says. “We have never looked back.”

"I don't regret..." Jordan & Christine Michelle, Kidney Twins

“I don’t regret donating a kidney,” says Jordan Hadden. Although she’s related to Christine Michelle Roy only by marriage, Jordan’s kidney was a perfect match—an even better match than Christine Michelle’s own family.

“I just knew that I was supposed to get tested,” says Jordan. “Everyone thought I was a little loopy…since we weren’t blood relatives. I just listened to my heart and did what I was supposed to do.”

The experience bound the two women forever; they call each other “sister,” and will celebrate the one-year anniversary of the surgery this month.

“If it weren’t for [Jordan], I don’t think I would be here today. She’ll be part of our lives forever,” says Christine Michelle.

“She is one of the most incredible people I’ve met in my whole entire life,” says Jordan. “She lives every day to the fullest and she’s taught me to do the same. I just feel like I have a new set of eyes now.”

"I don't regret..." Lynn Bryant, Color-Blind

“I don’t regret choosing to attend an all African-American school in the ’60s,” says Lynn.

In 1965, 10-year-old Lynn made an innocent (and controversial) decision to attend the elementary school down the street from her new home on Lady’s Island instead of the mainland elementary school in Beaufort. Her decision was made during an initial plan of integration in public schools; Lynn, who is Caucasian, chose to enroll in a school of all African American enrollment—and it changed her life.

“I really didn’t know anything about racism,” Lynn says. “I didn’t know anything about segregation.” She wrote a book about her experience, "I’m Black and I’m Proud,” Wished the White Girl, and has taught for 28 years in the very same elementary school she attended.

“This immersion in and learning of a totally different culture was a richness that I will always cherish, and has given me a great compassion, appreciation, respect for people of diverse cultures throughout the world, which is something I know is a prerequisite to achieve peace in our world today,” she says.

"I don't regret..." Susie Massey, Survivor

“I don’t regret my mastectomy,” Susie says.

Although her mother beat breast cancer twice, Susie’s sister lost her life to ovarian cancer. A few years later, after having children, Susie felt brave enough to get tested for the breast cancer gene: her positive result gave her a much
higher chance of developing both breast and ovarian cancer, and she opted to preempt cancer by having her healthy ovaries removed at 32 years old. But just two years later, a breast MRI revealed a suspicious spot; it was breast cancer.

“It was just disappointing,” Susie says. “Disappointment magnified by 100.” After chemo and radiation, she had a double mastectomy.

“The thought of your children not having a mother is more than somebody can think about really,” she says, but she managed to find a silver lining. “I would’ve never known how much my husband loved me if I had not gone through that and seen him help take care of me. That was life changing, too.”

"I don't regret..." Vaughnette Goode-Walker, Returned

“I don’t regret moving back to Savannah,” says Vaughnette. She grew up in Savannah, graduated from St. Vincent’s, and left the city at 17, spending many years as a journalist and poet in New York and Atlanta before coming back for good.

Now, Vaughnette works as the director of cultural diversity for the Telfair Museum, spending her days telling the stories of a place (like the Owens-Thomas House) or piece of art instead of the stories of a person.

“It’s such a good place, you know, to be here in Savannah. I really enjoy it,” says Vaughnette, and she truly has come full circle—she even built a house on her ancestral land. “My grandfather had come to that place in 1928, and my mother was born out there. So that’s been a part of it for me, coming back to my family’s home.”

"I don't regret..." Paige Dula, Transformed

“I don’t regret my transition from male to female,” says Paige. Although she lived as a man for most of her 37 years, she always knew she was “different,” she says. And when her grandmother, to whom she was very close, passed away, she decided it was time to start living the life she wanted. “I thought, ‘I can’t live my whole life with a huge regret,’” she says.

Now, Paige describes herself as a sort of accidental activist; she’s not shy about her transformation from male to female, and is thrilled to feel like the woman she presents to the world finally reflects the woman within. She admits, however, that it hasn’t been easy.

“I hate the damage it’s done to family relationships,” she says, but adds she was surprised to find that so many people were willing to accept the new Paige. “It’s been worth every minute,” she says. “Now, I get to be me.”

"I don't regret..." Betty Robinson, Jailbird

“I don’t regret getting arrested,” says Betty, an abstract artist, who was cuffed and carted off to jail last April with about 40 others while protesting Duke Energy’s plans for a new coal-burning power plant in western N.C.

While it was her first arrest, Betty is quick to point out that it wasn’t her first protest. Her first environmental protest, she says, was in the 1940s in her home state of Virginia, when she was just 20 years old.

“I’ve been protesting the rest of my life about something,” she says. “I have just found out that you don’t get anywhere if you don’t do something.” Betty describes herself as “very political, a Yellow Dog Democrat,” and now she can proudly add “with a criminal record.”

She’s working on a memoir about her adventures, and it’s certain to include a play-by-play account of her brief incarceration. “I’m thrilled to death that I did it,” she says.

"I don't regret..." Yolanda Walton, Survivor

“I don’t regret escaping from an abusive marriage,” Yolanda says. As with most survivors of domestic violence, leaving wasn’t easy; it took 20 years and a few attempts to make the break for good. “It’s almost like you’ve been brainwashed,” she says. But with the support of friends and family, including the teenage sons and adult daughter she had to leave behind, Yolanda fled St. Louis, her hometown, eventually landing in Charlotte.

“I was so free,” she says. Adjusting to life on her own terms wasn’t without its own challenges, but now Yolanda has a degree from Johnson C. Smith University, works as an educator for incarcerated women and youth and a domestic violence counselor, and doesn’t take her life for granted.

“I’m not a quitter,” she says, touching the scars that are an everyday reminder of where she came from. “I do not take life for granted. I love life now.”

Cyrena Nouzille Alehouse Proprietor

Cyrena Nouzille is a self-described beer nut. When her husband Jean Luc gave her a home brewery kit for one of those “almost milestone near-mid-life-crisis” birthdays I’m sure neither of them imagined that the gift would spark a hobby that would turn into a business 10 years later.

Cyrena, along with business partners brewmaster Dave Grittiths and chef Ray Luna opened Ladyface Alehouse and Brasserie on November 9, 2009 at 29281 Agoura Road in Agoura, California. (Not so coincidentally at the base of Ladyface Mountain!)

A resident of Old Agoura, Cyrena is a former exhibit designer and project coordinator for The Los Angeles Natural History Museum and Petersen Auto Museum turned stay-at-home mom who started brewing beer on her kitchen 10 years ago. She became friends with more Old Agoura residents who were also home brewers; most notably Dave Griffiths who later became the head brewer at BJ’s in Oxnard. Dave and Cyrena daydreamed about opening a brewery of their own one day and 5 years ago got serious about it and sat down to write a business plan. Cyrena met Ray, a former chef at Spago Beverly Hills and Shutters on the Beach, through her cousin and they hit it off immediately.

Emily Clarke | Path Finder

“I don’t regret quitting my job—in the middle of a recession—to pursue my dream of being a full-time artist,” says Emily. Some may call her crazy, but for Emily, leaving her career behind at a top advertising agency to open Emily Clarke Studio was a no-brainer. “I think about painting from the moment I wake up in the morning, until I go to sleep at night,” she says. Although the timing may not have been quite right, and the going sometimes tough, Emily still has no regrets. “Running my own business, and an art business at that, is the hardest work I have ever done, not to mention frightening. But I get a thrill out of telling people what I do, and answering the question, ‘And you make a living doing that?’” See why at emilyclarkestudio.com.

 Selena Henderson | Planner

“I don’t regret giving birth, even if it didn’t go according to plans,” says Selena. In 2006, Selena was confidently working her life plan. Education? Check. Career? Check. Marriage to soul mate, Koddie? Check. Next on the list: Children. Told that it might take a while to get pregnant after going off the pill, Selena even planned on earning her Master’s during the wait. As luck would have it, Selena started her studies and pregnancy at the same time. “Oh well,” she thought. “It’s still a planned pregnancy!” Healthy baby girl Morgan arrived on schedule, but afterwards Selena’s uterus was unable to contract and she was wheeled into emergency surgery to stop the bleeding. When she regained consciousness three days later, Selena learned of the hysterectomy that saved her life, but altered future plans for more children. Would she do it again? In her self-published journal, The Last Born First, the proud mom writes, “Yes, I would do it again in a skinny minute. I wouldn’t change a thing.”

Lisa M. Rogers | Stalker

“I don’t regret stalking my husband Prevo,” laughs Lisa. Dazzled by the bull rider she met at a county bar, Lisa broke her own rule and slipped him her number. Confused and ticked off when he didn’t call, Lisa did what any righteous gal would do—she had a friend of a friend track the fickle cowboy down. It’s been 15 years since she showed up on Prevo’s doorstep—they celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary last month—and Lisa still has no regrets. “Prevo is my best friend, my partner in crime, and the love of my life. When he deployed to Iraq in 2005, it broke my heart, but we endured a 15-month deployment and are closer than before.” Nowadays the couple resides on four acres in the country, enough room for Lisa’s booming business, cactusandivy.com, and to throw one hell of a party. “Life is good!” says Lisa.

Spoma Jovanovic – Conversation starter

“I don’t regret getting involved with and participating alongside the supporters of the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission,” says Spoma, an associate professor of communication studies at UNCG. The discussion of the 1979 shooting that killed five protesters reopened old wounds for the city, but Spoma, who is working on a book about the events, felt it was important to document the process and organize a series of meetings to build understanding. “It’s really taught me that these difficult conversations are not as difficult as we might imagine, that they can happen and they can lead to change.” Working toward change has been a lifelong passion for the daughter of immigrants, who counts homelessness, inclusion of the disabled and civic literacy among the issues on her agenda. “It’s really about what we can do to make the world better. It’s just that oftentimes people don’t know where to start, and I think the conversation is the starting point.”

Dee Ann Staley – Firefighting pioneer

“I don’t regret becoming a firefighter,” says Dee Ann. Of the five women in her 1978 training class, she was the only one to stay 30 years, rising to the rank of deputy chief before she retired from the Greensboro Fire Department in 2008. While fears about the close sleeping quarters initially led a few of her male colleagues to request transfer, Dee Ann earned their respect the way any self-proclaimed tomboy would – by not being afraid to get dirty. “We were the first class so everything we did was scrutinized. Male or female, you have to show that you can do the job, so we were watched. Was it all easy? No, but I couldn’t have asked for a better group, a better organization to work for,” she says. “I don’t know that I could have found another profession that would suit me as well as the one that I had.”

Sherri Brown – Single mom

“I don’t regret choosing to become a single mom,” say Sherri, who son, Santana, is 10. Today she’s the managing partner of The Cali Pearl Corporation, a financial services company, but Sherri learned the hard way what can happen when the money isn’t there. She struggled to build a life for herself and her young son after leaving his father when Santana was six months old. “I thought, I can do this by myself. I can’t be a father to him, but I can give him a home, I can give him love, I can take care of his basic needs. So I made that choice.” She credits her son with giving her the desire to start her own business, which caters to a mostly-female clientele. “Now I have somebody’s future to consider, I have college to consider, I have grandkids to think about. It’s not about me anymore; it’s way bigger.”

Adrienne Cregar Jandler – Ethical example

“I don’t regret taking a strong ethical stand with my business,” says Adrienne, president of Atlantic Webworks marketing and design. It’s a position that has earned her local and national awards, but it can often mean losing money. The company won’t charge for referrals, won’t take customers whose business plans are ill-conceived and won’t take jobs from clients’ competitors. “We lose money 100 percent of the time on that. And that’s okay, because you gain it later,” Adrienne says. She started her company out of her home in 1997, at a time when the Web was in its infancy, and now boasts more than 300 clients. But her attitude toward her customers hasn’t changed. “Ethical choices are never convenient, when you think about it,” she says. “The ethical choices that I’ve chosen to make are, in my opinion, my small way of making the world the way I think it should be.”

skirt! Flashback: Ami Sallee Corley

For our final skirt! Flashback of this year, we thought we'd head back to the beginning, where it all started with Tampa Bay Skirt! and one of our first intriguing women profiled in the magazine - actor, producer, coach and arts champion Ami Sallee Corley, featured in our very first issue. Since that piece, Ami's taken her art and love for theater to another exciting level, but we'll let her tell the story herself. And if you want to meet her all over again, take a look back at the original profile featured back in April 2008.
