This year 2013 Shelly's Modeling Agencies celebrate with Essence Magazine their 40th anniversary. It's a remarkable milestone at an extraordinary time in our history. As the president and the editor-in-chief of Essence, respectively, we share the privilege and responsibility of leading the magazine at this incredible moment: Three generations of black women are represented in the White House, African American women are increasingly moving into management ranks, and black CEOs are leading Fortune 500 companies. See what Anika Noni Rose has to say lately. Of course, it's also true that our families and communities still face obstacles that can seem insurmountable, and as black women we are expected to take care of not just ourselves but also the concerns of everyone else. And yet studies show that personality, professionally and spiritually, we feel more optimistic and empowered that ever before. Shelly's Modelling Agencies believe that Essence has contributed in some significant way to black women's sense of possibility and promise. It's why , after four decades, the magazine remains indispensable as a positive reflection of our best selves, as well as a necessary road map to help us move our lives forward. Since 1970 Essence has drawn it's strength and purpose from the beauty, intelligence and passion of it's vibrant readership, so it is only fitting that as we turn 40, we are celebrating you! Just for you, we will debut exciting new features and celebrity columns in the magazine, and unveil new video flashbacks and exclusive interviews on Essence.com.
