Black TV Legacy. Looking at these photos of Erika Alexander, Tracee Ellis Ross and Issa Rae makes us feel warmer than a loaf of cornbread fresh out the oven. Our Jan/Feb cover stars have managed to fill our souls with Black sisterhood, love and resiliency for over 30 years. This issue is dedicated to the woman who understands the unique burdens of our birthright—but also acts as a balm for the troubles of this world. Run, don’t walk to your local newsstand today to pick up your copy of our Jan/Feb Black Love issue! #ESSENCE Credit Check: Talent: @erikaalexanderthegreat, @issarae & @traceeellisross Photographer: @micaiahcarter Writer: @kimberlynatasha Stylist: @solangefranklin Creative Movement Director: @stephengalloway Erika Alexander Hair & Makeup: @fred4face Erika’s NRAY Locs by Debra Hare-Bey Issa Hair: @felicialeatherwood Issa Makeup: @joannasimkin Tracee Hair: @marciahamilton Tracee Makeup: @mollygreenwald Nails: @nails_by_yoko Set Design: betteradams Tailor: @costumer.sh...
