In addition to the evening concerts, the ESSENCE Empowerment Experience will uplift festival-goers through daily seminars on healthy living, career and work advice, education reform, civil rights, relationships, style, beauty and more. Renowned leaders Reverend Al Sharpton, Rep. John Lewis and Dr. Steve Perry will be on hand to speak as well.
“The ESSENCE Festival combines music, entertainment, culture, community, empowerment and inspiration to create a completely transformative experience across four full days that you won’t find anywhere else on the planet,” said Michelle Ebanks, ESSENCE Communications President. “We feature the world’s top performers each night across eight live music stages and we bring the ‘page to the stage’ by bringing ESSENCE magazine to life at the Convention Center during the day.”
