What a cute little boy!
I agree that Essence has changed since Susan stepped down as EIC.
I really dont want to see a story about how a woman lets herself get played like that and then tries to rationalize it. I dont really care about Kim Porter.
Keisha Cole is on this month's cover?  Where is my Essence?!

Yes, Keisha Cole is on the cover yet Cathy Hughes (owner of Radio One) is buried somewhere in the middle to the back of the pub.
Do the editors think that mature sistas won't sell covers?
Two stories on Kim Porter is enough to make me throw in the towel. She sounds stupid and I know there are other sistas who are far more worthy of press than her - like HRH Princess Angela.
I might add another thread just to talk about Essence Magazine. I've been a subscriber on and off (literally) since I was 12. So, I take it really personal when I see them lean into some off the wall direction.
My Mom bought it for me because they're were NO magazines outside of Ebony and Jet that covered Black women in the 80s. She wanted me to be exposed to quality news about professional sistas.
Now, I don't know what Essence I trying to be. It seems like they are trying to blend the philosophies of Black Enterprise, People, OK, and Hype Hair into one magazine!

Thanks for the info, Blacksocialite. I would be very interested in learning more about HRH Princess Angela of Lichtenstein. Her son is such a cutie pie. I would have thought that there would have been more press in general. It's not eveyday that an American marries into such an old European royal house.

I totally agree! I have never heard of HRH Angela! I'm surprised (ok, not really) that this wasn't highly publicized here in the states.

I like Keisha Cole (sp?), but I have to agree too. I've never heard of HRH Angela either. I'd like to learn more about what I don't know, not folks I see every day in videos and crap.

Exactly! If I want to know what Keisha and Kim are up to, I can check out C&D and YBF.

I stand corrected about Princess Angela's title
A soror of mine just hit me on my blog and told me that Princess Angela's title is actually HSH not HRH as I have in my posting here.
I'll go back and change on my blog too.
