Hi Fabulous Friends!
I have great news to share with you all! My boss/mentor, veteran fashion journalist and style expert Constance White has been named the new Editor-in-Chief of ESSENCE magazine. The news broke today and I couldn’t be more excited for her! Constance is a former style reporter for The New York Times and Style director of eBay. She began her full-time journalism career at Ms. magazine and WWD, before going on to serve as executive fashion editor of Elle magazine (the first African American to hold an executive editorial position there) and news anchor for FullFrontal Fashion, (one of my favorite tv shows). Constance appears regularly on NBC’s LXTV, The Today Show and Dr. Oz. She also consults with FirstComesFashion.com.
I am very happy for both Constance and for the future of ESSENCE Magazine, which in my opinion, is the most popular publication for African American women. With Constance’s expertise in fashion and journalism, this is sure to be a perfect match! Here’s what Constance had to say about the fab news:
“I myself have been a reader and a fan of ESSENCE,” White said. “It’s been a guide for me throughout my life. It’s been a magazine that I’ve turned to again and
again and I’m excited to be able to serve the reader as the Editor-in-Chief of ESSENCE. Stay tuned!”
We will and can’t wait to see what’s in store! : )
