Becoming Her Magazine | March/April 2026 — She Rises Featuring Cover Story: Hazel Simpson
She started on a Broadway stage. She built an empire in Atlanta. And she has spent her entire career making sure women's stories — the real ones, the layered ones, the ones carried in silence — make it to the screen.
 
Meet Hazel Simpson: filmmaker, founder, woman of faith, and the extraordinary force behind Hazel Visions, Sis to Sis Productions, the Drama and Arts Academy, and the I Am Awards. In our March/April 2026 Third Anniversary Issue, Becoming Her Magazine sits down with one of Atlanta's most compelling creative visionaries for a cover story that reads less like a profile — and more like a testimony.
 
What You'll Discover:
From Broadway to Atlanta — The Making of a Visionary: Follow Hazel's journey from performing in New York musicals to building a full-scale entertainment company in the South, and the faith that carried her every step of the way.
Sis to Sis Productions — Storytelling That Heals: Explore the production company behind the critically acclaimed Sisters and the Shrink franchise — now five films strong and streaming in eight countries — and why Hazel refuses to tell women's stories any other way.
Watch It — The Film the World Needs Right Now: Go behind the scenes of her newest psychological drama starring Towanda Braxton, a haunting portrait of abandonment, hidden trauma, and the breathtaking strength it takes to survive.

The I Am Awards — Honoring Women Who Build in the Quiet: Learn how Hazel created an annual celebration for the female entrepreneurs doing extraordinary work in rooms the world hasn't found yet.
