A Letter from Our New Owner

Hi Sasee Readers!

I’m so excited to share our first issue of the revitalized Sasee Magazine with all of you. Before you dive in, I wanted to formally introduce myself as the new owner of Sasee. My name is Haley.

I grew up in Myrtle Beach, attended St. James High School, and went on to major in financial management at Clemson University. After graduating college in 2020, I worked as an analyst for a private equity firm in Charleston, SC before moving home to Pawleys Island to work in the accounting department of my family’s business, The Brandon Agency. 

My true passion, however, has always been rooted in helping others. About a year ago, I decided to take my Level 1 CrossFit Training Seminar, and it changed my life. Now, I coach part time at Hammock Coast CrossFit in Pawleys Island, where I get to impact other peoples’ lives every single day. Being able to help other people accomplish something that they never thought they’d be able to do inspires me to push myself out of my own comfort zone. And so that’s what I did.

When I heard the news that Susan and Delores were looking for someone to take over Sasee, I felt this overwhelming urge that it was meant to be me. This was my chance to get out of my comfort zone and make an even bigger impact on the community that I’ve called home for my entire life. How fitting that the theme for our first issue is Springing into a New Me. 

I knew how important Sasee was to this community, and I didn’t want to see her fade into just a memory. I wanted to take what was already a beloved magazine and turn it into something even bigger and more impactful than before. 

My hope is that Sasee continues to make you smile and that it inspires you to be the best version of yourself, no matter where you are in your life. I really think you are going to enjoy all of the new ideas we are bringing to the table and all of the ways we plan to positively impact this community. 

The past few months have been some of the most challenging of my life, but they have also been the most rewarding. I’m so grateful to everyone who has reached out with an abundance of support and love for our team; it hasn’t gone unnoticed. I can’t wait to see what the future holds, and I hope you will all stick with us to find out! 

Without further ado, welcome to the next chapter of Sasee.
