This summer, Bacon Magazine presents The Legacy Edit—an elevated issue dedicated to the women redefining what it means to leave a legacy, through power, purpose, and global influence.

Gracing our cover is Grand Slam tennis champion and clean beauty founder Sloane Stephens, a woman whose dominance on the court has evolved into boardroom brilliance. With her brand Doc & Glo experiencing rapid growth and her continued presence in elite tennis, Stephens represents a new era of multidimensional success. She’s building legacy through movement, mindfulness, and the kind of generational impact that reaches beyond trophies.

This international issue honors the women who serve legacy in real time—through sport, entrepreneurship, and intentional living.

We then step into conversation with the Chief Marketing Officer of Saucony, a visionary at the helm of one of the world’s most enduring athletic brands. In a rare and reflective interview, she opens up about the tension between honoring legacy and creating disruption, navigating corporate leadership as a Black woman, and the inner work required to stay grounded under pressure. From protecting her peace in high-stakes rooms to holding space for DEI without being boxed into it, her insights speak to the emotional labor, mindset shifts, and quiet resilience required to lead with impact. Through it all, we uncover the personal side of branding—the “why” that keeps her tethered to purpose, even as the metrics evolve.
