SOMA Living January 2023

YEAR IN REVIEW

2022 was a great year to reconnect with friends and family in person. While we are all still standing a few feet apart in line at our favorite local stores, banks, and markets – it is a relief that things are finally returning to some semblance of ‘normal’. At SOMA Living, we are particularly grateful for all of the 2022 cover families. We especially appreciate our advertisers who support us through the years and continue to make our town magazine possible. SOMA Living is brought to life eachmonth by our talented photographer JamieMeier , known on Instagram as @livelovelens and @livelovemaplewood. “It’s really amazing to work with so many kind, cool, and fun families. What they all have in common is their inclusive values of our towns and drive to make SOMA even better since they first moved here. I hope this shines through in the images we make together,” Jamie warmly shared. Special thanks to the not-for-profit organizations, athletes, artists, merchants, educators, fashion experts, as well as the licensed professionals who contribute each month to make SOMA Living such a wonderful reflection of the diversity in our community. Editor Karen Driggs added, “As many of you know, SOMA Living is truly a family publication. Not only do we get to feature a family from the SOMA community each month, but the publisher is my brother!” We are excited for 2023 and currently working on our editorial calendar for our monthly celebration of all things SOMA. If you know a family, charity, athlete, or special business you would like to see featured here, please let us know.
