ESSENCE Journey To Beautiful

What happens when beautiful women get together to discuss black beauty? Magic happens, as we found out when two of our May cover girls - Erykah Badu and Ledisi -- got together for ESSENCE's Journey to Beautiful event on May 7 in New York City. ESSENCE Beauty and Style Director Pamela Edwards-Christiani moderated the discussion as the singers shared their own journeys to beautiful and and acceptance in front of an intimate audience of stars and industry insiders.
