This is why I haven't had a subscription in like over a decade. Because I knew it was about $$$ and selling magazines.
There was a time back in the day when the cover was an educational experience. It was someone new or someone who was important in the black community or someone to be discovered!! I remember buying Essence (around mid to late 70's) when I was in my early teens because I looked forward to being ENLIGHTENED.
Mary J. Blige has been on the cover 3 or more times. How much about Mary do I or the rest of the buying public need to know?
They should have put me on the cover by now. DO MY STORY! I won't charge.
