The em dash agenda, the complex sentences agenda, the thoughtful, witty, and vivid prose. Oh these are MY sort of writers. Nowadays editors chop, chop, chop into synthetic, clinical sentences that have no character or drama.
Vibe Magazine’s 'Next' featured short write-ups on Black artists just as they were on the verge of blowing up. Here is what the magazine had to say about Maxwell (1994), D’Angelo (1995), Eric Benét (1996) and Musiq Soulchild (2000).

The Met Gala is putting Black history and fashion at the forefront through its theme, "Superfine: Tailoring Black Style," inspired by the theme of Black dandyism, but what does that mean? Learn more #OnTheGrio
