Meet the Women of the ‘Indy’

Every day is Women’s Day at the Santa Barbara Independent. From our intrepid editor-in-chief, Marianne Partridge, who blazed the way by being the first female editor at Rolling Stone magazine, to our indefatigable publisher, Brandi Rivera, who got married, had a baby, and earned her MBA ​— ​all while running the company ​— ​within the space of a year, we dedicate our energy, grit, and wisdom to our families, community, and craft. Yes, we have many talented men in our midst, but the women of the Indy play a critical role in creating the magic on our pages every day. Happy International Women’s Day.
