Growing up as a teen, Danielle realized there was a lack of magazine publications that specifically targeted urban teen girls.  In 2009, Danielle created Goddess Magazine, a publication that is dedicated to highlighting accomplishments of everyday teen girls and informing its readers about issues that may affect them such as low self-esteem, body image, importance of education, and relationships.  Danielle saw the need for a magazine that could mentor teen girls and become their outlet.  With today’s society portraying women in a negative light, Danielle believes that some teen girls do not understand the meaning of their self-worth. As the founder of Goddess Magazine, Danielle wants to ensure its mission is carried out through each issue to let young women know you can reveal the Goddess within them!

Danielle’s background includes a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism and Communications from Northern Illinois University and a MBA from The University of Phoenix. While at NIU, Danielle was the Editor-in-Chief of NIU’s magazine called The Voice.  While in this position, she transformed the publication from a print version under the old name, Huskies Highlights to an online version.  She implemented an internship program to hire writers, graphic designers and photographers to stay within the budget. With this position, Danielle has learned the importance of implementing and operating a magazine.
