Really EBONY?? I see you stepping up your cover game, kudos to your creative director and editors and snaps for LJR for bringing the swag back to EBONY. Anyway it looks as if my favorite first lady (positive thoughts only) is on the cover of the September issue of EBONY (I love me some Michelle she’s so graceful). This is sure to be a collectors issue for African American households right next to that dusty cover of Dr. King at your grandma’s house. Go get it!

The Get’em girls are doing it again, this time in NYC. If you missed the event we held in Upper Marlboro, Maryland last fall with Elle Sharp PR, and DC Bookman’s Tiah Short then you must go to Girl’s Bite Out!!!!
