A Revolutionary Love: Rog and Bee Walker For ESSENCE February 2017

"Talk about a Revolutionary Love!"

I’m just now getting around to reading the February 2017 issue of Essence magazine online and this editorial featuring some of my favorite creatives, Rog and Bee Walker made me stop in my tracks.

I went to Jamaica and other Caribbean nations in May of last year and I had an epiphany whereas I have no desire to read any mainstream magazines anymore. I didn't want to buy any of the paper ones and I couldn't even muster up the strength to look at the ones I subscribe to online.

With all of our beauty and style being positively presented online ( these two are a part of that revolution) on various platforms, I don’t even need to read or see anything they’re saying or talking about. The aesthetics alone are enough for me.

Congratulations Serena!!

Loved-up: Serena Williams, 35, stepped out in style with her new fiance Alexis Ohanian as they welcomed 2017 in Auckland, New Zealand

I want to congratulate Serena Williams on her engagement. The tennis star is engaged to Reddit co-founder, Alexis Ohanian, and some folks are deep into their feelings over her engagement. The Notep's and Neverloutionaries are pissed because they think they have lost another prominent black woman in their eyes. Who she marries is none of our business.

The Notep's and their handmaidens have pointed out that Reddit is supposedly a haven for racists, what they failed to point out is that racists are prominent on every platform on the internet, so be truthful with your lies, agendas and propaganda. I believe in all women exercising their options by dating and marrying men who love, respect, honor, provide, protect, build and value them regardless of who they are and avoid those who don't.

Do you Serena and eff the idiots!!!

ONE TREND TWO WAYS: Takenya "TK Wonder" Quann and Cipriana Quann For Cosmopolitan Magazine May 2016

Just when I thought I should cancel my subscription to Next Issue Digital Magazines, Cosmo comes out with this fab editorial featuring the stylish Quann sisters, aka Takenya "TK Wonder" Quann and Cipriana Quann of the Urban Bush Babes Blog.

I might keep my subscription after all if the magazines continue featuring African descendant women and other WOC in their editorials. I don't know about that damn Harper's Bazaar, though because they hardly ever featuring anyone worth seeing. They haven't been the same since the Liz Tilberis years and I don't even see how they stay afloat. Enjoy!

Model Noémie Abigaïl for L'OFFICIEL PARIS APRIL 2016

I'm loving all of the editorials featuring Afro hairstyles in all sizes and shapes and this time L'Officiel Paris presents readers with a menswear inspired editorial. Photographer Nik Hartley captured model Noémie Abigaïl perfectly. Stylist Vanessa Cocchiaro retained her femininity with just the perfect hint of masculinity and I love every last look!
