About Just Bring Yourself

Just Bring Yourself is a newsletter from writer, editor and strategist Sarah Day Owen Wiskirchen.

With this newsletter, I want to connect you to the culture, ideas, people and communities making Raleigh and Cary a welcoming place.

My ethics

I’ll give advice from my six years in Raleigh perspective, and I’m never paid for my opinions.

I’m a journalist by trade, and I’ll disclose anything I got for free or any conflicts of interest.

This is a reader-supported publication, paid subscribers make my time on this possible. I hope you’ll consider paying for my work!

Did I get something wrong? If so, I want to hear about it. Email me at justbringyourselfnewsletter@gmail.com. Corrections or clarifications are included in the next newsletter.
