Get ready to fall in love with Soul Pitt Quarterly’s Fall 2019 Issue (#39)! It’s important to mention that three of the articles in this issue are poignant pieces. Donna Baxter Porcher, CEO of Soul Pitt Media, talks about the loss of her father in “Remember My Dad of Steel.” Craig Dawson, our VP of Sales & Marketing, shares his journey and battle over cancer with the help of Allegheny Health Network, and our managing editor, Bonita Penn, so passionately tells us about the many stress factors Black women deal with in “BREATHE, Why Black Women Can’t.” And if that wasn’t enough, it’s also packed with new advertisers and more positive stories about the people in the community.  We thank you for your continued support and hope this issue truly touches your soul.
