The Magazine
Sarah Dubbeldam created Darling in 2009 with her husband, Steve Dubbeldam. The magazine began as a blog and produced its first print issue in the fall of 2012.[1][2] Darling is advertised as embracing women of different ethnicities and body types, and no photographs are retouched.[3] Its articles tend to include topics of self-empowerment, self-improvement, career, relationships, style, travel, recipes, interviews, features, and stories. Within each issue, Darling partitions articles into eight "personas" which are: The Dreamer, The Hostess, The Confident, The Stylist, The Explorer, The Beautician, The Intellectual, and The Achiever.[4]
In addition to its print publication, Darling hosts "Darling Dinner" events that take place around the United States. Each event is themed around a selected topic as the focus of a meal and conversation. Darling also holds "Darling Retreat" events, hosting workshops, meals, and guided conversations for personal growth and entrepreneurship. In 2013, they launched the #DarlingMovement with hopes of motivating readers after reading Darling issues.[5] In 2017, Darling Media also introduced a new equity crowdfunding portal from Micro Ventures and Indiego.[6]
