How many letters are in devoured? Because Danielle Brooks ATE this cover shoot up for the November/December Issue of #ESSENCE, shot by Mickalene Thomas! Disclaimer: We recognize Black creatives are still fighting for their respect and equity; this fight has been displayed through this year’s labor strikes. It is important for us to let our readers know that ESSENCE conducted these interviews and photo shoot for our cover story in May 2023.
