Athena is a Devon-based digital magazine that champions women in business, work, and leadership across the county.
We share real stories, practical wisdom, and thoughtful conversations that shine a light on the women building things quietly and bravely behind the scenes, from founders and freelancers to community makers and changemakers. Expect interviews, features, local spotlights, events, and ideas that help us feel less alone, more resourced, and more connected to what’s possible.
Co-founded by Stacey Sheppard and Fran Minifie, Athena exists to celebrate women’s work, strengthen the local female business community, and make sure brilliant Devon women are seen, heard, and remembered.
