Essence has always been a pillar and an embodiment of cultural influence, providing a voice for those then and now. The love shown for a city as New Orleans on the 30th Anniversary of Essence Festival, much respect. I can’t wait to see what is in store, I’m going to make it one day ( on my bucket list ) 😊
