Consumers looking
for beauty, health, and lifestyle magazines have an almost
endless array of choices, but even in this crowded fi eld, Logan
Olson found her own niche. Olson, who was born with congenital
heart disease, stuff erred a heart attack at age 16 that left
her in a coma and caused serious brain damage. Th e active and
outgoing teen had to relearn everything from sitting up to feeding
herself. As she recovered, she looked for help and advice in
conquering such daily challenges as fi ending fashionable clothes
that were easier to put on and makeup that was easier to apply.
Mainstream beauty magazines didn’t seem to off er any information
for young women with disabilities, so she started her
own magazine. Oprah Winfrey has Oprah, and Logan Olson
has Logan. Th e magazine not only gives young women tips on
buying and using a variety of products but let’s women with disabilities
know there are others like them, facing and meeting the
same challenges.
