(ThyBlackMan.com) EBONY magazine releases its Spring 2019 issue, featuring the legendary DIANA ROSS on the cover. In the accompanying exclusive interview, EBONY has an intimate conversation with the iconic, award-winning singer who shares some of her fondest memories, including her famous Central Park concert. Ross also discusses her style evolution, motherhood and being a grandmother. In addition, her five children pay tribute to their megastar mom.
In other features, EBONY speaks with the incredible Debra Lee, the former CEO of BET, about her legacy in entertainment, gender equality, her advice for millennials and much more; we also showcase our top 10 2018–2019 EBONY HBCU Campus Queens. Elsewhere in the issue, readers will get a glimpse at the latest in spring beauty looks; EBONY staffers share their top picks for travel beauty products; we debut our new parenting column with an in-depth look at the connection between children’s diets and their ability to manage anxiety and depression; and our Travel section explores perfect locations for lovers.
“I’m thoroughly thrilled about our Spring 2019 issue. Diana Ross is more than a famous name; she’s an iconic brand of her own. Like EBONY, Diana is gearing up for her big 75thbirthday, and I couldn’t be happier about celebrating both of these milestones,” says EBONY Media Operations CEO Michael Gibson. “We have plenty in store as we prepare to celebrate EBONY’s diamond anniversary, and I can’t wait to bring our readers on our retrospective journey through the past 75 years.”
