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.
‘You Have Potential’
The Coalition for Compassion and Justice’s (CCJ) latest project, Paloma Village, is “one of a kind,” according to Executive Director Allison Lenocker. And, it’s in perfect alignment with what the organization does: build hope and provide opportunities for forward movement.
The roads and sidewalks are in at Paloma Village, a 25-unit manufactured home community on four acres in Chino Valley, and now, Allison said during a recent interview, “We’re focused on buying our first house.”
This project will feature one-, two-, and three-bedroom options with rent less than market rate and resources to help residents create forward movement in terms of saving and earning potential, qualifying for traditional mortgages, and more. An onsite advocate will help residents problem solve in real time.
“My vision is to have resources right on hand, while all the while promoting self-sufficiency.”

Building Brands That Feel Aligned
Stephanie Lauderback believes branding is about trust — not trends.
As founder and lead strategist of Studiolit in Prescott Valley, she helps small businesses clarify who they are and communicate it confidently. Her work goes far beyond logos and color palettes. She educates business owners on strategic positioning, long-term thinking, and sustainable growth. That passion for education extends into the classroom — Stephanie also teaches design at Yavapai Community College, where she helps the next generation of creatives develop their own strategic foundation.
Empowering Students
Small-group and one-on-one targeted instruction are components of academic intervention. The four women on the Intervention Team at Granite Mountain Upper Elementary School within the Prescott Unified School District (PUSD) do so with continual dedication and passion. Assisting students who struggle academically, this team offers proactive support by tailoring plans that empower students to overcome challenges. Through these interventions, the team also tracks and monitors academic progression, communicates with teachers about goals and strategies, builds partnerships with instructors, and maintains a focus on improvement.
Sharing the Aloha Spirit
Prescott Woman Magazine chatted with Darla DeVille, Public Affairs Manager for the Northwest Division of APS, to find out what makes her enjoy Prescott and everything it has to offer.
‘A Satisfying Experience’
“Why would you not make it beautiful?” she said during a recent interview. “You want to enjoy the experience.”
Since she launched her business, Mac Daddy Macarons, two and a half years ago, its offerings have expanded to include other baked goods and charcuterie boards, grazing tables, and full catered meals (for 20 to 30 people).
“It always starts with the macarons,” she said, adding that her business growth started when people began ordering add-ons. “Once people find out you do something with food, they want all the food.”
Finding Freedom
Since 1980, Stepping Stones Agencies has provided around-the-clock advocacy support and safe shelter for adults and children experiencing domestic violence in West Yavapai County. That’s 45 years of safe nights of sleep, supportive fellowship, and finding freedom from all forms of abuse.
Faith House (now Stepping Stones Agencies) opened its doors as the first domestic violence shelter for women and children in Northern Arizona. With 10 beds plus five cribs, women and children were able to find safety and support in the rural Prescott area.
Two decades later, Stepping Stones expanded to a larger safe shelter campus with 16 beds and five cribs for emergency shelter. Additionally, the move added four two-bedroom affordable transitional housing apartments. With more space, Stepping Stones was able to serve more families and added additional advocates to provide 24/7/365 services in the new space.
Today, in addition to the safe campus, Stepping Stones has also added five additional affordable transitional apartments (for a total of nine) to serve even more families each year.

Summer Giving
Summer is here and Vitalant is already feeling the heat; traditionally donors are in short supply during the summer months because of vacations and other activities. But it is important to remember that patients in 62 Arizona hospitals are depending upon 600 blood donors every day – even during the summer.
“The demand for blood is constant,” said Anna Oliver, Senior Director of Donor Recruitment for Vitalant.
Lynn Kaylor – 2021
Lynn Kaylor jokes that she wrote her first romance in junior high. It was a short, sweet historical story of two twelve-year-olds—the boy Native American and the girl a white settler.
Then real life took over, and she had a long career as a software developer for companies such as IBM, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Beech Aircraft.
