BrownStyle Magazine is thrilled to announce that Dreka Gates—mom, wife, and multi-hyphenate entrepreneur—will join the lifestyle publication as a love and wellness columnist. Starting this March, Dreka will share her secrets to love and wellness with readers of her quarterly column, Love + Wellness x Dreka Gates.
“This is my first time as a columnist,” Dreka shares with excitement. “I’m deeply honored to have this opportunity because it allows me to continue sharing my knowledge and passion for love and wellness outside my current platforms.”
Dreka’s monthly column will explore themes of love, happiness, and living life to the fullest. “BrownStyle readers can expect me to share my insights on living a life that’s fueled by love and fully embraces the power of being a woman who’s in tune with herself, nature, and normal cycles of life,” Dreka explains.
Staying true to BrownStyle Magazine’s mission of helping women unlock their Soulful Soft Life, Dreka’s Love + Wellness x Dreka Gates column will also inspire readers to embrace what makes them truly happy.
“To me, living a soulful soft life means to unapologetically and fully embrace all of me — my true authentic self, who, at my core, is a nurturer and caretaker of myself FIRST. It’s all about pouring into myself first so that my overflow can nurture my loved ones,” the wellness advocate explains. “It’s about doing all things with intention and purpose. That’s a soulful soft life for me!”
“We’re excited to have Dreka Gates join the BrownStyle family,” says Tweety Elitou, Editor-in-Chief of BrownStyle Magazine. “Dreka is truly opening up to readers and sharing some of the life lessons that have helped her bloom into the beautiful soul she is today. It is truly inspirational!”
