Cynthia Good is the CEO, founding editor and co-owner of PINK – the national magazine exclusively for career-focused women. You’ve seen Good talking about PINK repeatedly on CNBC, Fox and CNN. Now entering its third year, PINK has won numerous industry awards and, under Good’s leadership, has inspired readers to have both a beautiful career and a beautiful life.
During her quarter-century in journalism, Good has expressed her passion to make a difference in the lives of women and families. She has now launched two magazines – PINK and Atlanta Woman. Both walked away with the Grand GAMMA, the Southeast’s highest honor for a magazine. PINK has taken home 11 other GAMMA awards. Plus, it has also won three Folio Awards, prestigious national industry honors.
Before starting magazines and becoming an entrepreneur, Good worked at TV stations across the country, anchoring and reporting the evening news. While she was anchoring newscasts for WAGA-TV in Atlanta, the station became the top Fox affiliate in America. Good then created her own television show, Good for Parents, and began syndicating TV news stories on issues facing women and families.
Good won the Author of the Year award from the Georgia Writers Association in 2001 for her book Vaccinating Your Child, now in its second edition. She has written six books in all, including Words Every Child Must Hear.
A valuable member of her community – and the community of women at large – Good mentors
young women in her company’s ongoing internship program. And over the past two years, PINK has raised more than $50,000 for Dress for Success and Girls Inc. Her magazine frequently donates ad pages to nonprofits that support both women and young girls.
For nearly a decade she served on the board of directors of Childkind, which places homeless, medically fragile children into foster care and facilitates adoptions. She is on the board of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, the largest pediatric children’s hospital in the Southeast. She founded Chapter 11 Bookstores and started Atlanta’s Horseradish Grill restaurant. And she holds the 1985 world record for catching the largest roosterfish.
Good, who describes herself as a “famillionaire,” and her husband, Joey Reiman, live fully in Atlanta with their two sons, Alden and Julien; their miniature horses, Holly and Little Horse; Katzie, their giant cat; and their lovebirds.
