Submitted by: Mona

This is the only magazine that I will spend money on. I love the fact that it is targeted towards African-American women, young or old. The articles in this magazine are very educational, inspiring, engaging, and helpful. What ever it is, you will find something for you in Essence.

Every month Essence magazines has topics of ways Black women can improve on health, exercising, and being careful when it comes to relationships.   I also love to see who graces the cover each month. 

A Great Positive Magazine for African American Women

I've been reading Essence for many years now and enjoy it more and more each year.  I appreciate the focus on the African-American woman, her beauty and strength but also her weaknesses and self doubts.  The magazine addresses the issues that affect the African-American community with opennes and objectivity which I think is important.  Its way for us to talk amongst ourselves, about our issues and learn of the diversity of our own opinions.  On the lighter side I love the beauty/fashion section and reading about the latest trends in hair and makeup for black women which is still not fully embraced by the mainstream.  Essence, keep up the good work!
