Essence Celebrates its 40th Anniversary


Essence magazine's September issue celebrates their 40 year Anniversary *loud cheers and bottle popping*. What better way to celebrate the years then to feature 40 Fierce and Fabulous Women who are changing the World!!! This accomplishment alone shows just how far black women have advanced.The cover itself speaks of beauty as it dawns Supermodels Iman, Naomi Campbell and Liya Kebede. As I tore through the pages I couldn't help smiling and gazing at all the beautiful women and the impact they have made in the world. From teachers, athletes, singers, comedians, CEO's to being America's First Lady, black women have shown just how far you can go with a dream, determination and hard work. Not only did this spread brighten my spirits, but it gave me hope, inspiration and motivation to go out and do my part in changing this world. I would suggest that EVERY woman pick up a copy of this collectors item and dare to go out and make your mark in this world!! These 40 women prove that ANYTHING & EVERYTHING is possible. Here are a few pics of some of the women they cover:
