LITERARY: SASHAY MAGAZINE

The Real, Rugged and Refined
Trio Behind New Magazine for Women

When I arrived at Starbucks to talk to the founders of Sashay magazine, Grace Belangia was already there. The stranger in the seat next to Sashay’s managing editor offered to leave to make room for our interview. “No, no!” Grace remonstrated and, within minutes, Grace had made both a new friend and a professional connection.

Dear Editor:

While visiting Augusta recently, I picked up a copy of the March 30 issue of verge – very well done


Before visiting, I read with interest that Augusta is called the “Garden City.” I thought that was wonderful because I have a keen interest in gardens and have visited gardens all over the world. However, when I tried to locate a public garden in Augusta, I came up empty-handed. The March 30 article regarding The Augusta Botanical Gardens helped me understand.
It was with some dismay that I learned that Augusta has let a botanical garden go to rack and ruin.
