A heartfelt thank you to Gloria, owner of Santiam Cleanery Service in Stayton, Oregon, for allowing us to use her beautiful space as part of this editorial. If you live near Stayton and need exceptional laundry services, this family-owned business is a true hidden gem that deserves your support.


At Verity Visions, we believe luxury begins with integrity. Supporting small businesses that consistently deliver quality and care is a reflection of that same value. While the world often chases what’s new, the ones who have built their reputations on trust and service quietly sustain the heartbeat of our communities. Choosing to invest in them keeps that legacy alive.


This feature marks Makeda’s first magazine publication with Verity Visions, celebrating her elegance and timeless presence in front of the camera.
