The Publisher’s Perspective: July 2023

Welcome to the July issue of LKN Magazine! We are delighted to present another edition brimming with captivating content. Our aim is to provide you with an enchanting escape and ample inspiration for the summer months ahead.

In this issue, we’re thrilled to share the experience of attending our first Indian wedding with you. As depicted in the stunning pictures, my daughter and I were privileged to witness the union of two families, two traditions, and two cultures. Congratulations to Morgan and Deep Patel! The memories we made over that unforgettable weekend will forever hold a special place in our hearts. Stay tuned for an in-depth feature on this remarkable wedding in an upcoming fall wedding issue!

We’re excited to feature Jasmine of Brighter Smiles of Davidson on our cover this month! Just look at her radiance! Turn to page 28 to discover more about Jasmine’s business and how you can achieve professional teeth whitening from the comfort of your own home.

Allow me to share a few highlights from this issue:

We have Carrie Allen, our exceptional lead photographer, who has recently opened a studio in Charlotte. If you’ve been putting off updating your headshots, now is the perfect time! Learn all about The Daylight Room on page 22.

Next up, we have Ray Singleton. I had the pleasure of hearing Ray speak at a recent event and was instantly captivated by his story. You won’t want to miss it on page 34.

Finally, we are thrilled to introduce you to our new friends, Matt and Kristen, the owners of Tempo Golf Club located in Huntersville. If you or your spouse are avid golf enthusiasts, their story on page 20 is a must-read article.

Hello! I’m Keela Johnson, the founder and publisher of Forsyth Magazines, a family of three publications that began in 2005 in Forsyth County, NC. After living in Clemmons for 30 years, I "retired" to Lake Norman and discovered a vibrant, active community filled with friendly people and new hobbies like paddle boarding, walking, and gardening. But with publishing in my blood, I quickly recognized an exciting opportunity to engage further with the wonderful Lake Norman community. Now, as the publisher of LKN Magazine, I’m thrilled to be part of a growing platform that celebrates the Lake Norman area. My daughter, Brooke Eagle, now co-owner and publisher, has been instrumental in helping take our family of magazines to new heights, and together, we’re continuing to share stories and promote local businesses in meaningful ways. At the heart of everything we do is the belief in the power of community. We’re passionate about creating a platform where local businesses can grow organically and meaningfully, and we’re excited to bring that same vision to the Lake Norman market. LKN Magazine proudly serves Catawba, Iredell, Lincoln, and Mecklenburg counties, from Statesville to North Charlotte. In addition to print and online advertising, LKN Magazine offers a comprehensive range of services to help tell your story—including editorial features, social media promotion, and a monthly newsletter. You can subscribe to our newsletter at lkn-magazine.com to stay connected with all that’s happening around the Lake Norman community. We’re so grateful to be part of such dynamic communities in Forsyth and Lake Norman, and I’m honored to continue this journey with you. Let’s keep sharing stories, supporting local businesses, and building something meaningful together. Here’s to many more years of growth, connection, and celebration!
