The South is home to some of the world’s best and brightest people — thoughtful, innovative, mindful, creative, productive. And when people share their thoughts and ideas — their voices — the opportunity to inspire the world becomes exponentially greater. It’s that notion that is the foundation for Southern Voices, StyleBlueprint’s platform where we invite people to share their life’s wisdom with our readers. We’ll be sharing written submissions as Southern Voices Stories and you can also chime in on our Southern Voices Podcast. Ideas are boundless, and we are looking for men and women of all ages to contribute stories both light (a comically funny morning that sums up motherhood?) and deep (your first holiday without a loved one who has passed). While religion may factor in, we are looking to leave politics aside as much as possible.

Stories

Peruse our collection of Southern Voices submissions in which SB readers share moving stories about childhood memories, adulthood challenges and experiences that we bet will resonate with you.

Podcast

Some experiences and memories are best shared over a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine!) with a friend, loved one or new acquaintance. The Southern Voices podcast captures these stories as they’re told in the moment.

We want to hear your voice.

Stories can be light-hearted (a comically funny morning that sums up motherhood?!) or heavy (a first holiday without a loved one) or about your unique situation and how you’ve learned from it. Ideas are boundless, and we are looking for both men and women of all ages to contribute. While religion may factor in, we are looking to leave politics aside as much as possible. In today’s divisive world, where politics can be found at every opening of Facebook, StyleBlueprint will continue to be a place fighting for things that are uniting, not dividing.
