Coastal Georgia—known for its rich history, moss-draped oaks, and serene shorelines—is also home to a vibrant, rising tide of women of color who are leading with purpose, passion, and power. In this special edition of Siti Girl Magazine, we are proud to introduce Coastal Georgia as our spotlight region and to welcome Dr. Jamita Cobb as the luminary voice curating and amplifying the stories of women making waves in these southern shores.
Dr. Jamita Cobb, a dynamic educator, speaker, community leader, and CEO of the Carlisle Foundation Inc, has been a beacon of empowerment in Georgia. With deep roots in advocacy and a soul committed to healing and transformation, Dr. Cobb brings her signature grace and grit to this new editorial journey. Through her lens, Siti Girl Coastal Georgia will celebrate the vast contributions of Black and Brown women shaping the cultural, educational, entrepreneurial, and civic landscapes of coastal communities and the notable collaborative efforts of individuals and organizations that support these women in their pursuits.
“Coastal Georgia is more than a destination—it’s a divine intersection of legacy, leadership, and liberation,” says Dr. Cobb. “Women of color here are not just surviving—they are innovating, building, mentoring, and leading movements that deserve national recognition.” This exclusive feature series—“Coastal Queens: Women of Color Leading the Way”—will profile changemakers from Savannah to Brunswick and
surrounding areas, highlighting stories of resilience, brilliance, and community-rooted success. Whether it’s a teacher reimagining education, an artist using her craft to preserve Gullah Geechee traditions, or a young entrepreneur breaking barriers, these narratives will reflect the heartbeat of the coast.
Dr. Cobb will also share her own journey, offering reflections, affirmations, and powerful insights for readers looking to rise in their own right. From columns and interviews to community events and curated collaborations, Siti Girl Coastal Georgia invites readers everywhere to witness the brilliance blooming along the Georgia coast.
As we launch this new chapter, we invite you to join us in honoring the premiere Queens of the Coast—and to stand with Dr. Jamita Cobb as she lifts their stories into the spotlight where they belong.
Stay tuned, stay inspired, and always wear your crown. 👑
