Telling the stories that shape our community.
Prescott Woman Magazine is Northern Arizona’s premier lifestyle publication, dedicated to celebrating the dynamic women and vibrant community of the Prescott Quad Cities. Since our founding, we’ve proudly shared the stories of local leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, educators, and changemakers who inspire, uplift, and connect us.
With every issue, we go beyond the headlines to spotlight the people, places, and passions that make Prescott shine. From powerful profiles and wellness wisdom to style inspiration and community events, our pages reflect the heart and soul of the region we love.
More than a magazine — we’re a movement. A platform for women’s voices. A celebration of local life. And a trusted resource for those who believe in the power of community, storytelling, and shared success.
Join us as we continue to honor the women of Prescott — one story 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.”

Going High-Tech
Thanks to significant renovations, the Yavapai College libraries—now known as the Centers for Learning and Innovation—will provide resources, technology, and usable space for everyone.
Jeff Falls, Senior Project Manager with Haley Construction, the firm completing the renovations, said, “As we’re moving into the future,” the team will “completely gut” both libraries “down to bare walls.”
It’s a big job: the Clarkdale building is 11,000 square feet, and the Prescott building is 30,000 square feet.
Since the project goal is to make the spaces high-tech, Jeff said, “A whole new level of infrastructure has to go in.”

Cooking Up Connections
There’s something magical about a kitchen—the aroma of fresh coffee, the warmth of a home-cooked meal, and the joy of gathering with loved ones. The kitchen isn’t just where food is made; it’s where stories are shared, laughter echoes, and connections are built. In Prescott Valley, that same sense of warmth, quality, and connection can be found at Rafter Eleven, a local gem that brings people together just like a family kitchen does.
Nestled in the heart of town, Rafter Eleven is more than just a coffee and wine bar—it’s a place where the community gathers to savor life’s little pleasures. Whether it’s sipping on a velvety European-style cappuccino in the morning, enjoying a glass of fine wine in the evening, or indulging in a homemade bowl of soup made fresh each week, every visit feels like coming home.
But what truly makes Rafter Eleven special? It’s the way this charming spot turns everyday moments into meaningful experiences. Friday nights come alive with music, where locals unwind, toast to the weekend, and soak in the welcoming atmosphere. Spectacular cooking classes offer a hands-on experience for food lovers eager to refine their skills and create something delicious from scratch. And, of course, cozy lunches bring friends and family together over comfort food that warms both the heart and soul.
