Erie welcomed its first woman-owned magazine Thursday night.

Butterfly is a magazine that aims to amplify women's voices and experiences.

Dozens gathered at the 10-20 collective to kick off the launch of the digital magazine. The founder said that she is amazed by the public's reception.

"It means the world to me, I mean, this is my first business endeavor at all, so the fact that I've had so many family, friends, and business professionals in the area show up is really amazing. I think it also shows that there is a need for this, so I'm really happy about that," said Isabella Pacinelli, the founder of Butterfly.

Butterfly hopes to host women's events in the near future.
