That's a lot of pink.
While I will say that it is nice to see a few unexpected faces on the cover of Essence, I still think it would have been nice to feature Taraji P. Henson (or Viola Davis) alone on the cover. It's been proven a thousand issues over that Essence just hates to put new faces on their covers. I guess this issue is their way of getting credit for three so that next month they can go back to business as usual and split the year between Jada, Halle, Jill Scott, Mary J. Blige and maybe Mo'nique.
I haven't seen this one on the stands yet. I wonder if it contains their annual "Black Don't Crack" feature.
Out of curiosity, who would be your top choice to appear on the cover of Essence Magazine?

man, they really do keep recycling the same old tired articles. unbelievable.
as for people i'd WAY rather see on the cover:
santigold
thandie newton
janelle monae
georgia anne muldrow
lisa bonet
viola davis
the list goes on and on
I agree, interesting question. Especially since we just got over the Oscars, Taraji & Viola would have been great cover models, together or separate.
Janelle Monae or Andre J.
Kinee diouf
Muhsinah
N'Bushe Wright
Sophie Okonedo
Brigitte, you are so right about Mo'Nique LMAO. Tyler Perry gets too many covers as well and he's a man.
I'd like to see Nnenna Agba or any of the many models of color to grace the cover.
Ever since they became a part of Time/Warner they have been bombarded with celebrity covers.
I've been a subscriber for over 30 years and quite frankly I'm tired of seeing the same people.
hmmm Janelle Monae, Shingai Shoniwa (gorgeous and super talented..Esmeralda Spalding..
