Gender Vs. Race Issues – Where Do We Stand? (Jan.14, 2008)
Last November, NBC Nightly News extensively covered in a special 5 part series, " African-American Women: Where They Stand" The series, though much too brief, was rare among national media – devoting this much national airtime to the concerns of black women, and we applaud NBC Nightly News for their sensitivity in presenting this series. These nightly news segments, skillfully narrated by Rehema Ellis, a colleague of BCW’s friend and colleague, Marquita Pool Eckert, (formerly Associate Producer of CBS Sunday Morning) covered some of the major issues confronting black women today, at all levels of the economic strata, including: relationships, health, education, politics and the economy.

Big Change at Essence Magazine
Dec. 28, 2007
Susan Taylor, the woman who fashioned Essence into a "must-read" for
black women, is planning to leave the magazine she has run for 37 years.
Taylor, 61, joined Essence in 1970, the year it was first published, as
a freelance fashion and beauty editor after founding her own company,
Nequai Cosmetics, reports The New York Times
. In 1981,
Taylor became editor in chief and held the position until 2000, when she
was promoted to publications director. Time Inc., which owns Essence,
did not make an announcement about Taylor's resignation. Taylor, who is
vacationing in South Africa, wrote in an automated out-of-office e-mail,
"When I come back to the states in mid-January, I will be leaving
Essence to do what at this juncture in my life has become a larger work
for me--building the National Cares Mentoring Movement, which I founded
as Essence Cares and today is my deepest passion."
