If it seems like we’re running one of these stories every other week (or more), we are—and that’s a good thing. Bucking the longstanding trend of primarily white models and celebs covering magazines, we’ve been seeing a rash of magazines covered by black women this fall—and it’s a trend we’re trying to help make a…

When we first became aware of Lindsay Peoples Wagner, she was a fresh-faced assistant to the Senior Fashion Market Editor at Teen Vogue—a promotion from her start at the magazine as an intern.

LeBron James may be best known for killing it on the court, but never forget that his fashion game is tight, too—which is why it shouldn’t come as a surprise that he’s partnered with lifetime endorser Nike to co-present the 11th Annual Harlem’s Fashion Row gala on Tuesday, Sept. 4 in New York City.

It was a telling moment: In late July, Eva Chen, director of fashion partnerships at Instagram, posted a photo of the Council of Fashion Designers of America/Vogue Fashion Fund judges’ table—and there was not one black face in sight.

My mother and I recently decided to do DNA kits together in honor of Mother’s Day. (Please don’t @ me with warnings about how our information will be used; we’re grown, neither of us is a serial killer, and genealogy searches have taken us only so far.)
