About Essence
Essence has brought beauty tips, fashion advice and human-interest
stories aimed at representing the African-American women’s lifestyle for nearly
50 years. Every issue of the magazine is packed full of celebrity news, health
and beauty articles, inspirational interviews and important news stories that
cover the issues that are important to African-American women.
Through Essence, women will get advice on caring for their hair and
skin, entertaining, travel, must-attend events, family, sex, love and much,
much more. Every issue of Essence also features in-depth interviews with
African-American celebrities from every industry and with African-American
people who are successful in a variety of issues. The interviews aim to share
success stories and inspire women to become successful, vibrant and happy in
their own lives. Advice columns and question-and-answer features give women the
advice they need to succeed in their careers and relationships, and in pursuing
their personal goals.
