Since 2019, Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream has honored Women’s History Month by recognizing women whose leadership and work contribute to making communities safer, more equitable, and welcoming. For 2026, the company proudly presents four phenomenal women as its honorees: Jennifer Ament, Dr. Rachel Issaka, Nneka Ogwumike, and Joy Shigaki.

What an inspiring gathering it was! The seventh annual Edmonds International Women's Day event at the Edmonds Waterfront Center was a powerful reminder of women's strength, resilience, and unity. Filled with diverse voices, heartfelt stories, and a shared commitment to self-care and community support, the event left a lasting impression on everyone present.

Crystals have long been revered for their beauty and perceived metaphysical properties. In recent years, there's been a surge of interest in crystal healing and collecting, and it's wonderful to see Black-owned businesses shining in this space. These shops offer not only a stunning array of crystals but also a deeper connection to spirituality and community.
