Telling the stories that shape our community.
Prescott Woman Magazine is Northern Arizona’s premier women-focused media platform, dedicated to celebrating the voices, stories, and impact of the Prescott Quad Cities. What began as a lifestyle magazine has evolved into a dynamic, digital-forward brand rooted in storytelling, connection, and community uplift.
We spotlight the women who lead, create, serve, and inspire — entrepreneurs, artists, educators, advocates, and changemakers whose work shapes the place we call home. Through powerful profiles, thoughtful features, and meaningful conversations, we go beyond the surface to share stories that matter.
Today, our storytelling lives across multiple platforms. Through the She Spark Podcast, we amplify real conversations around leadership, purpose, growth, and connection. Through the Prescott Woman Awards, we honor women whose courage, compassion, and contributions make a lasting difference. And through Portraits with Purpose, we combine storytelling and service, using photography to give back and uplift local nonprofits.
More than a magazine, Prescott Woman is a movement — a trusted platform for women’s voices, a connector of community, and a catalyst for positive change. We believe stories have power, visibility creates opportunity, and when women rise, communities thrive.
Join us as we continue to celebrate Prescott — digitally, boldly, and with heart — one story, one spark, and one woman at a time.
Keeping the American Dream Alive: Why Shopping Local Still Matters
For Natalie Dunbar Latham, small business has never been simply about owning a store. It is about family, community, connection, and carrying forward a legacy that has been part of Prescott for generations.
A third-generation Prescott-area native, Natalie comes from a long line of local entrepreneurs. Her grandparents owned the Pine Cone, her uncle owned Prescott’s historic Palace Bar, and her grandparents, followed by her parents and now her sisters, have owned and operated Dunbar Stone Company, a family business with roots dating back to 1945. Her family’s entrepreneurial history also includes Marler’s Furniture. Today, Natalie’s twin boys represent the fourth generation growing up with those same deep Prescott roots.
Different businesses and different generations, but the values have remained much the same: work hard, take care of people, contribute to the community, and leave things a little better than you found them.
Those values are at the heart of Natalie’s own business, The Old Farmstead Mercantile.
Walking for Sylvia
For the Bullington family, the annual Walk to End Alzheimer’s is about much more than crossing a finish line.
It is a family reunion. A tradition. A chance to remember their mother. And, after nearly 25 years of walking together, it has become part of the family’s legacy.
Their team, Sylvia’s Kids, will once again participate in the Quad Cities Walk to End Alzheimer’s, carrying forward a tradition that began decades ago in honor of Gary Bullington’s mother, Sylvia.

Who You Are Shapes How You Lead
Dr. Marylou Mercado remembers what it feels like when the future isn’t entirely clear.
She was the first person in her family to earn a college degree, beginning at a community college because it was what her family could afford. Her father believed strongly in education and encouraged her to keep going, including when she struggled academically. She married young, and there were times when money was tight enough that food and having enough gas to get where she needed to go were real concerns.

Stories Rooted in Strength: Author V.C. Williams Brings History and Imagination to Life
A second-generation Arizonan who grew up in Prescott, Walker—who writes under the name V.C. Williams—draws deeply from her pioneer heritage. She was raised on stories of strong women who stood shoulder to shoulder with their families, navigating life in the rugged landscapes of Texas and Arizona. These women, she shares, were just as capable of handling a rattlesnake as they were of baking a pie—balancing grit with grace in ways that continue to inspire her work today.
