The April issue is an ode to our many kinds of beauty—every age, every shade, every size, every texture. We are diverse in so many ways. It is what makes us beautiful.
Not awkward, but awesome and alluring, our cover girl Issa Rae walks us through her journey to becoming confident in her own skin. We are speechless with admiration as we see her dancing, laughing and just being herself on the streets of New Orleans. She is beautiful.
Every page of this issue celebrates us. We are powerful: The 15 Black women Âexecutives in “Pretty Powerful” are changing the beauty Âindustry from the inside out. We are inspiring: Check out the talented models in our “Vast Beauty” portfolio. They are taking traditional definitions of perfection and transforming them into bold statements that celebrate uniqueness. We are strong: See “Black Girl ÂRising,” featuring British actress Michaela Coel. She uses yoga and meditation to deeply tune in to herself—mind, body
Just in time for spring, we present our Best in Black Beauty Awards, highlighting 94 must-have products. If you want to further invest in our community, we offer selections from Black-owned brands we love.
As you read from cover to cover, remember that we are all beautiful. Say it loud: “I’m beautiful the way I am.”
