Hey ladies, you asked, and we listened. We’ve heard from dozens of readers of our Keys Woman magazine, suggesting wonderful local women who deserve some credit and coverage.

So … Do you want to be included in a glossy magazine feature with your best friend? Or do you know of a great pair of friends that you’d like to nominate?

Of course you do. So let’s get to it.

For our next issue of Keys Woman magazine, we’re highlighting and celebrating the power of female friendships at all ages — and we want to hear from you and your best friend, whether it’s a coworker, your mom, your sister or your BFF since kindergarten.

Women are strong and wonderful creatures, and none of us can do what we do without the supportive shoulder, enthusiastic cheerleading and occasional commiserating with the women around us. (Happy hours and bloody Mary brunches are a huge help, too.)

And here’s the best part: You two get to interview each other to introduce yourselves to the Florida Keys community. Don’t worry, we’ll help you with the interview questions and photo ideas.

We’re looking for pairs of gal pals from Key West as well as the Lower, Middle and Upper Keys.

So find your best friend and send us a photo of you two together (or individually) and a few paragraphs about why your friendship proves that together, women can conquer the world. 

Email the photo and text to stephanie@keysweekly.com and  mandy@keysweekly.com and, as always, stay tuned to the Keys Weekly’s Facebook and Instagram accounts for more details and submission reminders. 

Let’s have fun with this. We can’t wait to meet you.
