Every year, the magazine selects women who bring the Mountain State spirit to everything they do, proving that superheroes don鈥檛 have to be superhuman. This year鈥檚 theme is 鈥淭he mothers, the millennials, and the mavens. Changing our communities.鈥

鈥淲est Virginia has always been home,鈥 Wood said. 鈥淭he opportunity to come back here and finish our careers has been a blessing for sure. The people of this area have welcomed us and made us feel like we are a part of the community. Giving back is my way of saying thank you to them.鈥
