Jackson and her husband Myron Jackson created the publication after years of wanting to put an emphasis on Black Arkansans.

“It’s been a really great experience for me personally because some of these stories I can identify with as a Black woman in Arkansas,” Jackson said.

She talked about some of the stories included in the magazine, including topics about women’s health, Black businesses and other stories from all over the state.
