Article Dopeness: Essence Hires A White Fashion Editor

There has been a lot of stir lately over the hiring of Essence's new fashion editor. Why? Because she is a white woman.

One side is saying that Essence is one of the few remaining Black magazine's and that by hiring a white woman they are showing a dis-connect to their primary audience and are afraid that the new hire cannot deliver from the Black woman's perspective.
