And I pray they stop featuring clothes that are too darn expensive for most sisters to buy.

Problems I have with this issue are:
1. The cover is out of focus. I expect much better from Essence.

2. Instead of consistently putting entertainers on the cover, why not our women of the community? Civic leaders, artists, professionals...the other people who BUY the mag. If the mag is about us, shouldn’t we be represented? I would love to see sisters like Angela Davis, Toni Morrison, Susan Fales, Dr. Mynora J. Bryant, Linda M. White, Barbara C. Moore, Dr. Louise A. Rice...I'm saying take it to the next level. We're not all entertainers.
