Erykah Badu for Essence

Erykah Badu recently sat down with Essence Magazine and talked about learning to love your natural beauty. Speaking of beauty, from the hair to the dress, her cover look was flawless! Watch as Essence gives us a behind-the-scenes look at Ms. Badu's interview and photo shoot! 

Janelle Monae Covers Essence

Janelle Monae looks absolutely gorgeous (as always), on the May cover of Essence Magazine. In this issue, the Cover Girl talks, image, sex appeal, and artistry. After winning her first grammy earlier this year, she's busting out of the indie scene, and creating her own shine. Janelle is definitely one of our faves- we absolutely love her sound and unique sense of style.
