Our Story
Real Girl Magazine began in September 2011 and reaches young women in Jackson,
Mississippi and beyond. Real Girl Magazine is a quarterly magazine that promotes Biblical

pages. What makes us different is that we focus on being unique and authentic and feature
articles about deeper issues that impact young women everywhere. We want our readers to
see themselves as God sees them—beautiful and unique.
Our Mission
Real Girl Magazine exists to be a positive and wholesome influence in the lives of teen girls.
Our goal is to inspire them to express themselves in God honoring ways.
