Buy Essence (1-year auto-renewal) Now
"Essence Magazine" is a well-rounded magazine that covers issues pertaining to women from various backgrounds. Tyler Perry is on the front cover and there is a special feature of Gabby Douglas on page 70, along with some of the other Olympic winners. Additionally, the November 2012 issue features women with different and engaging political beliefs on page 82. The following are the women featured: Daryl Joy Walters, Mary L. Washington, Montica Talmadge, Jennifer Carroll and Jennifer Burke. It is implied on the side of the magazine that African American women come first when it comes to "Essence Magazine". I confirmed part of my own African American ancestry when I recently discovered that my late paternal grandmother was an African American woman who was originally from Birmingham,Alabama. However, this magazine is also great for those from various backgrounds due to some of the universal themes covered in "Essence" (such as the articles on the secret of giving and ideas for the Thanksgiving holiday).I'm thinking of cancelling my subscription. Ever since Time Warner Publishing acquired Essence, it seems to be cantering to dark-skinned white women and NOT Black women.Great magazine, with great articles, beauty tips, information on my community, and a section that celebrates everyday womens style. I love this magazine and have been buying it for years and finally decided to get a subsription and save a little money. I would recommend it to all.Wednesday, March 19, 2014
Essence (1-year auto-renewal)
I love reading Essence magazine, I am happy I can now read it on my kindle fire. I recommend thisThis is the only magazine I read regularly in college (25 years ago) that I still read now. Great articles on all kinds of issues and they do try to cater to black women from ages 20 to 55 or so which is not easy. Lately, it's been a little flat -both in terms of magazine size and in the depth of the articles. I'm renewing it one more year and hope it improves during that time
