Essence Magazine : A Black Woman's Motivation and Inspiration

ESSENCE Black Women In Hollywood 2017

This year, Essence Magazine have honoured Issa Rae From Awkward Black Girl and Insecure, Aja Naomi King from How To Get Away With Murderer, Yara Shahidi from Black-Ish and Janelle Monae  and each of these women gave the most inspirational speeches that will stay with me for life.

Each one of these women have transformed the arts just by being themselves and I would encourage more women to just be themselves and embrace all that you have been given.

Urbanista's 2 Cents:

Since I have moved back home, it has been a struggle trying to discover who I am ; career, life and relationship wise and slowly, with the help of a few magazines such as Essence, Pride and Ebony  the people I know and knowing what I want, I have managed to slowly understand who I am and what I can offer to the world.

So to those women, who create the content for these magazines, I salute you and I thank you every month for inspiring me!
