W
ho doesn’t love a
success story? Many of us turn
to magazines, television, film
and even family or friends for
those inspiring tales of tri-
umph – especially as women
and especially when we need a
boost when the going gets tough.
South Carolina’s first female
governor, Nikki Haley, is a fine example of one such success
story – not just for women but also in the field of public
service. Haley, who has been in office since 2011, is consis-
tently in the spotlight thanks to her candor. Whether you
tend to vote Republican or Democrat, it’s hard not to give
her credit for being a strong woman.
Mount Pleasant Magazine
caught up with Haley for a
few questions during her visit to East Cooper for the Vol-
vo Car Open in April. She was happy to share her opinion
that “women bring a lot to the table” in both business and
politics.
