MagRags: Cover Stories - Diversity in Action

I love it when I see diversity at play in the media. We are so use to seeing the same vision for each magazines, "the type" that have been showcased month after month, and year after year on the covers of their publications.  It was wonderful to see September issues of major magazines featuring African American celebrities, singers and models as their cover feature.   What made it so special you may wonder? Well, it wasn't Black History Month. There were more than one magazines, and not just the usual Black magazine who did this. While Ebony Magazine , an African American publication would usually feature celebs and/or entertainers, they featured a bevy of beautiful models on their cover! The diversity in the models showed the diversity in our Race too and was beautiful to see. I hoped there would be a Plus sized model included, but alas.

Connecting the Dots...& Jill Scott

I'm excited to begin a new feature on my blog.  I love reading blogs from all over the world.  There's a new feature I've wanted to begin since....Spring 2014, yes this year....and hope to get it off and running soon. I've written and saved a few articles, on the features I hope to do, and am just waiting on responses to a couple of emails that I sent out to those who I wanted to connect with.  Now if only those email replies could come in sooner rather than later....it's been a while...I've sent new requests to follow up and added others to my emailing.  Fingers crossed! In the meantime, let me not end this write up with out showing you something gorgeous curvy divas!  I love reading magazines and seeing one of my favorite singer/actress on the cover of Essence magazine just rocking her new look, Jill Scott on the September issue of Essence!!! She looks amazeballs! Check it out below!   Do you like her blonde locks...? Wow...gorgeous! ...
