Regina Whylly: The Whole New Woman


The Bahamas...It’s a new season, new show and new supplement for Regina Whylly, host of The Whole Woman. A former journalist for a national Bahamian daily, Whylly is well on her way to bringing her lifelong dreams to fruition through her television show which has become a big hit in The Bahamas amongst women.
Now, she’s taking a turn back to her journalism roots as publisher, managing editor and writer for the new The Whole Woman magazine supplement. With the help of some of her friends in the industry, Whylly has put together a team of professionals whose combined experience spans over 50 years.
“The time was right for this to come out,” said Whylly says of her magazine. “It’s something that I wanted to do ever since I was a little girl and a lot of the contributors to the supplement have been among my biggest cheerleaders along with my husband Steven and our kids Iesha and Stevejay. It’s been an absolute blessing to be able to do this and to answer a call I know God has placed on my life to take up this endeavour.”
The magazine tackles a wide range issues with an in-depth approach to health, beauty, fashion, relationships, spirituality and other topics relating to today’s women. Just like Whylly’s personal appearance, the magazine has style that appeals to it’s readers in with eye-catching layouts and conversational articles.
“I wanted the magazine to be something that was different from others of a similar nature,” Whylly added. “I don’t want to target just one demographic but a variety of persons with different interests regardless of their location, race, age and social status. The bottom line is that we are all women and we need our stories to be told; we need to be sisters and we need to be the best we can be because we are the glue that binds our families, churches and even our place of employment together.
“With The Whole Woman magazine, I want women who might not be able to openly discussed their rapes, abusive spouses or mental depressions will find an avenue through reading instead of having to go out, that there are other women who overcame such tragedies and find the right channels to battle their own giants. Additionally, people tend to preserve clippings and other inspirational tidbits from magazines rather than record something from television so I also see it as a means of preservation.”

Welcome

So I've finally set up an official blog space to dedicate to something I really enjoy - undiscovered talent. In my line of work I come across alot of talented individuals who really ought to be heard, read or seen all over the world.
I'm also a publicist and reviewer, so please feel free to send me your links I'll be open and honest about your work.
This is a new year and a new season. To be honest, I am discovering people are desperately seeking inspiration as opposed to sexification in what they are reading and listening to. Honestly, people want to be inspired with all that's going on in the world (and in their pockets) today. Just like Shirley Temple inspired people in the depression, I think there are certain people who will inspire us through a recession. So walk into the new year with faith and favor.
Take care
