zadie every day. when you need to relax your mind, but want to fill it with substance pick up a copy of “the gentlewoman.” i have every issue except the first, if you have a copy of issue 1 for purchase…i need it!!!

becoming...it's a beautiful thing witnessing the journey of a friend becoming the best version of their self. can't wait to dig into this advance copy of @andreapippins second book--in less than a year, as an author!

required reading...i had to buy a fresh copy of "women who run with the wolves," because my copy from the last decade was worn + tattered.

the 🍒 on top:@ripostemagazine is another great pick. i own issues 2-6 [please find me a copy of issue 1 🙏🏾] their tagline doesn't disappoint "a smart magazine for women." their features are diverse without using its meaning as a buzzword: ethnicity, careers, personalities, intergenerational, etc always shines through. oh, i cannot get enough of the text design + image on the back, it's my go to cover option.

cop-per feel: is there such a thing as a sexy cover? i think so, in the words of the late unicorn prince..."you sexy mother**...
