Innholdsfortegnelse for August 2024 i Nashville Lifestyles Magazine

I love my job; I really do. I am grateful that I get to do a lot of cool things with the magazine, and this month is one of the most meaningful parts of the job for me: our annual Women in Business feature. As you probably know, we take nominations from our readers and compile a list of inspiring women. These ladies include entrepreneurs, civic and business leaders, and powerful women from all walks of life. This year’s list is particularly interesting and impressive. Lucky for me, we host a photoshoot at our office, where I get the opportunity to meet the women. Candidly, I usually know most of the women on the list, but this year, I had the opportunity to meet several women I had not met.…

The Mall at Green Hills hosted its first-ever Nashville Creator Awards on June 4, recognizing the city’s top social media influencers in four different categories: Fashion, Family, Lifestyle, and Home & Entertaining. The ceremony gathered an abundance of talented and inspiring women who impact the community through their personalities and expertise. Followers, family, and friends were able to vote once a day for their favorite creators for a limited time. The fruits of their labor culminated at the ceremony, a night packed with cheers, laughs, sisterhood, and plenty of Instagrammable moments and decor. We chatted with the winners of each category to learn more about the people behind the screens.

When Sinema opened in June 2014, diners reveled in the transformation of the Melrose Theater into a fine dining restaurant. In repurposing, the magnificent 1940s art deco character of the bygone movie house was retained, with meticulous restoration of the marquee, ticket booth, lobby, and curved staircase to the mezzanine, now a dark, swanky lounge. Sinema became a destination, renowned for its New American cuisine and weekend “bottomless” brunches. As the restaurant approached its 10-year anniversary, the owners — the Reed family and Q-Juan Taylor — felt it was time for change. One great challenge for a restaurant is remaining relevant over the long term. This is especially potent in Nashville, where our explosive growth is continually punctuated by new restaurant openings. Executive Chef Kyle Patterson, who had been with…

August is always one of my favorite magazines of the year to put together because it’s our annual Women in Business issue! Each year, we bring you the stories of some of Nashville’s most extraordinary women. Getting to hear their stories and share them with our readers is one of the most gratifying and inspiring things about this job, and I am appreciative of every woman who took time out of their busy schedules to be part of this feature. You’ll get to learn even more about these inspiring women, and have some invaluable networking time, at our Women in Business event on August 28 at Conrad Nashville — so mark your calendar! I also had the pleasure of chatting with our iconic cover star, the one and only Tanya…

You can’t call it a comeback if you never really went away, but ’90s country hit-maker Terri Clark knows she’s at a special moment. After setting the stage for today’s tough-yet-tender female powerhouses, she’s spent 30 years on the road, preaching cowboy-hatted girl power with chart-topping hits like “Girls Lie Too” and “You’re Easy On The Eyes.” But this month, the road leads somewhere new. On August 29, Clark makes her long-overdue headlining debut at The Mother Church of Country Music – Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium – and that’s just part of an ongoing resurgence. Recently celebrating her 20th anniversary as a Grand Ole Opry member, the Canadian Music Hall of Famer also snagged a slot at Nissan Stadium during this year’s CMA Fest, and back in May, dropped a double…

Marci Houff founded Chic Awearness in 2013 with a group of concerned friends. They wanted the charity event to celebrate and inspire those affected by ovarian cancer, and they are doing just that. They are “A Fashionable Fight for Ovarian Cancer Research” group of warriors. Houff is a respected, kind, and caring woman changing how Nashville looks at cancer, specifically ovarian cancer. On September 20, Chic Awearness returns for its 11th annual fashion show as Nashville’s premier ovarian cancer fundraising event. Held at W Nashville, attendees can expect an evening of inspiration, positivity, fun, and, of course, incredible fashion. As the organization approaches its $1 million mark in fundraising, the money raised goes towards research initiatives as well as a mentoring program that partners survivors of ovarian cancer with women…

When it comes to country music greats, Tanya Tucker is among the best of them. She first established herself as a force to be reckoned with in 1972 at just 13 years old with her hit single “Delta Dawn,” and in the decades since, she has achieved the unthinkable for child stars — maintaining a loyal fanbase and continuing to find success throughout adulthood. For more than 50 years, Tucker has carved her own path in the industry by way of powerhouse vocals and a resilient personality to match. Known and loved as a strong, independent trailblazer, the two-time GRAMMY-winner has paved the way for countless women in country music today. And she has no plans to slow down. In fact, Tucker is only adding to her ever-growing list of…

When visiting another country, it’s best to follow the ancient proverb, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” And when the foodways of Rome come to Nashville, dine as the Romans do. That’s the premise of DeLuca, a restaurant rooted in these traditions, recently opened in the former Porta Via location on White Bridge Road. Executive Chef Rosario DeLuca and General Manager Angelo Ferrante are both natives of The Eternal City. The son of Calabrian parents, Chef DeLuca had his passion for cooking initially sparked by his grandmother. As a young man, he moved quickly from working the restaurant floor to the kitchen, where he mastered the art of Roman pastas. Ferrante, who is also a Level 2 Sommelier, honed his skills in the hospitality industry first in New…
