DeLisha Sylvester

Introduction: DeLisha Sylvester studied English at the University of Maryland, University College. After a long career in bookkeeping and having a child, she realized that she needed more and created DS Bookkeeping and Consulting in 2012, building from many years of experience as a professional bookkeeper. In August of 2012, after experiencing several trials through entrepreneurship and being inspired by the journey of other women that she met, Sylvester followed a vision from God to create a publication that showcases and helps elevate women. She looked to form an informational platform to promote upstart businesses owned by women across the US. She was inspired by her mantra: be determined, be inspired, be blessed! Women's Elevation Magazine hopes to put that mantra to the test by promoting, inspiring, informing, and elevating the minds of the women who read it. Regarding the magazine, Sylvester has said, "WE Magazine has helped bring my life full circle. Every woman I get to talk to, connect with, share my story with and listen to theirs makes me feel more fulfilled. Whenever I speak to a woman about being a part of the magazine, I let them know that the magazine is for them, and that is my truth. I am here to bring their stories to the forefront, to write about the stories untold, to bring their struggles, laughter, and successes to the light in order to share them with like-minded women embarking on similar journeys."
