Essence Fest 2026 Recap 🎥🎞️ This was my first time experiencing Essence Fest and I’m mad it took me this long to go! I had the time of my life at the concerts, ate good, and enjoyed meeting my mutuals in person. Teyana Taylor really put her foot in this! My only hiccup was missing out on Beauty Con 😩 And before y’all mention VIP, it wasn’t worth it for me because I didn’t want any freebies or samples. I just wanted to visit the activations. But I’m interested in hearing some of y’all’s experiences 📝 🎥 Creator Events:
