According to Essence Magazine, Clarence O. Smith, one of its four founding pioneers, passed away on April 21 at the age of 92. Smith helped to launch Essence in 1970 and shaped its legacy for over three decades. As president of Essence Communications, he led marketing efforts that established the “Black Women's Market,” revolutionizing how advertisers viewed and valued Black audiences. His leadership expanded Essence into an empire — including the ESSENCE Festival of Culture, the nation's largest Black gathering. Former Editor-in-Chief Susan L. Taylor called him “a mighty mind,” crediting his vision with shifting hearts, minds, and investment. Smith is survived by his wife Elaine and family. Rest in peace, Clarence O. Smith.

Hi, it's Peter Ricchiuti. I’ve got a scenario I want to run by you, and I want your opinion. Here’s the situation: It’s morning. I get ready to leave the house. I pick out an outfit, get dressed, I look great. Then my wife says, “You can’t go out looking like that. That shirt doesn’t go with those pants. That tie is hideous. And 1998 called and wants its jacket back.” So, here’s my question. If I think I look great, do I look great? Or is there such a thing as objective, universally agreed style, and could I, in that case, actually look terrible? Not just to my wife, but to everybody. What do you think? On this edition of Out to Lunch, I put that question to Tracee Dundas. Tracee is founder and Executive Producer of New Orleans Fashion Week. She’s the Fashion Correspondent at WVUE-TV, Fox 8, she’s the Program Coordinator at Dress For Success, and for the past 22 years has worked as a freelance fashion writer and editor at Renaissance Publishing. Tracee also produces fashion shows and other fashion events for regional clients, including Essence Festival.If you’re a woman of color with larger breasts, and you want to wear certain fashion-forward clothes you see in stores, or on Instagram, you might run into a snag. And that is, getting your breasts to work with that dress. You can do it - but a bra is not going to work. You’re going to need something called boob tape. There’s a good chance you already know what boob tape is. If you don’t – it’s tape. That holds breasts in place. It looks a bit like duct tape. But when you’re done with it, it peels off your breasts without peeling your skin off with it. When Kaelin Bass went looking for boob tape, all she could find was tape that was too small to do the job for her breasts. And it was all made to match skin tones that weren’t hers. So Kaelin created her own boob tape. And in 2020 she started her own company, KM Boobies. Today you can find KM Boobies Boob Tape all over, including on Amazon and at Walmart. Kaelin is selling up to 4,000 rolls of boob tape a month. In business – like pretty much everything in life – you enjoy the greatest security when things are predictable. When you know what’s coming around the corner, when you know what tomorrow’s going to look like, you can plan for a known future. Well, fashion is the exact opposite of that. The only way fashion moves forward is by changing. And the only way to stay relevant in the fashion business is to stay ahead of the trend and embrace the unpredictable. It's not a business lifestyle for the faint of heart. Tracee and Kaelin are both carving out successful careers in this world: they're both creating businesses and products that weren’t there before they came along. And they're both doing it from here in New Orleans. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Columns in Uptown New Orleans.

In this episode of Hollywood Live, Tanya Hart pays tribute to another entertainment legend we've lost—Frankie Beverly, the lead singer and songwriter of the iconic soul and funk band Maze. Known for timeless hits like “Golden Time of Day,” “Joy and Pain,” and “Happy Feelings,” Frankie Beverly's music has been the soundtrack to countless summer cookouts, family reunions, and unforgettable live concerts for over five decades. He passed away at the age of 77, as announced by his family, though the cause of death was not disclosed. Tanya reflects on Beverly's remarkable career that began in 1970 with his group Raw Soul in Philadelphia. It was Marvin Gaye who guided the group to change their name to Frankie Beverly and Maze, setting them on a path to musical greatness. Their debut album in 1977 was just the start of a series of hits that spanned decades. Beverly was a beloved staple at the Essence Festival, where fans honored him this past summer by wearing white. Though he's no longer with us, Frankie Beverly's Silky Soul sounds will live on for generations to come. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After a trip to the Essence Festival in New Orleans, the JET Setting Divas wonder if the annual music celebration is for the "Shorties" or "Aunties".

Welcome to the 100th episode of The Artist Pivot Podcast. In this special celebratory episode, I take you on a journey through my recent experience at the 30th Essence Festival of Culture in New Orleans. From soaking in the vibrant celebration of Black culture to gleaning wisdom from the legendary filmmaker Ava DuVernay, I share transformative insights and inspirations that are still resonating with me. I reflect on what Ava said about the importance of embracing the freedom and sacred ground of independent artistry, maintaining belief in one's vision, and the empowering message that no one is coming to save you but yourself and the community you create. Here's to 100 more episodes filled with inspiring conversations, hearty laughs, and deep dives into the life and art of being a creative. Cheers to creativity, perseverance, and the journey ahead!

Understand what we all know; in 122 days, we each have the power to decide what kind of country we want to live in. Understand what we know; when there has been a full-on intentional attack against hard-fought, hard-won freedoms and rights. When I talk about the family that raised me, yes, they took me in a stroller as they were marching and shouting for justice, knowing that justice will not be achieved unless we are prepared to march and shout and fight for it."

7.5.2023 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: L.A. Sheriff's deputy body slams black woman; July 4th violence spike; Diversity scholarships at risk; India Arie v Janelle Monae, Meg Thee Stallion A Los Angeles Sheriff's deputy body slams a black woman.  Even the sheriff's department calls the video 'disturbing.'  We have both body cam videos and videos shot by a bystander.  We'll examine what led up to the violent encounter.   We'll also look at the recent violence that gripped the country over the holiday weekend.  We'll break down where the violence and examine if California Governor's proposed 28th amendment to increase the age to buy guns could help curb the rising trend of gun violence. India Arie calls out Janelle Monae and Megan Thee Stallion for their Essence Festival performances; saying they are "degrading" the culture. And I must say, I agree.  I'll explain why.  The Supreme Court's decision to overturn affirmative action ignites concerns about the future of diversity scholarships.  We will speak to a Higher Education Scholar about the potential implications and explore ways to ensure our children can still access valuable opportunities.
