Dear ESSENCE Social Team,

Far too often Black Creatives in the social space are overlooked. Long hours and thankless nights occur and events come and go without your proper due. 

This is a message to remind you of your genius and to show our sincere gratitude for everything you do. You highlight Black Culture effortlessly and ensure that we all are able to view and treasure the memories.
