FROM THE PUBLISHER
It’s that time of year again already! Happy HoliGAYS! We’re super ecstatic about this issue. It’s the first one that our new designer, Amanda Gargus, has designed for us and she has done an amazing job!

In this issue, we highlight a few of our HoliGAY Market vendors so be sure to check that out. Speaking of the HoliGAY Market, make plans to attend November 9 from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. We have nearly 60 LGBTQ+ and ally vendors that will be on hand for your HoliGAY shopping needs. A portion of proceeds from our HoliGAY Market will benefit Nashville LaunchPad.
I have to give a huge shout out to April Harrington and Exit Real Estate Experts for being our venue sponsor! You will notice April graces our cover too. Find out more about April and her big heart when you read our cover story.
I also want to thank Nashville CARES for being our Santa Baby sponsor and Tennessee Equality Project for being our Holly Jolly sponsor. CARES will be on hand with their mobile medical unit so be sure to stop by for screenings.
Finally, from Halloween to New Years, I want to wish you a fun filled, joyous season.
