- oh, this is gonna be crazy! now who do y’all think is singing what? #EssenceFestival

So! #Target is one of the sponsors for the #EssenceFestival this year. All the energy put into the #boycott apparently means nothing to #EssenceMagazine So much for championing the Black woman. Disgraceful, shameful, and disappointing. Ok, 92%. What say you? #92Percent #BlackSky #BlueSky

A letter to #EssenceFestival The #TargetBoycott continues & is holding strong.
It remains a grassroots effort fueled by everyday people across the country. Since launching Target's stock price customer base & sales have declined Target's CEO admitted that eliminating #DEl programs created turbulence

Okay, now that I can officially say something, guess who's going to @essence. Check out Underdog Press, live at #EssenceFestival. Come meet us, get a signed book, and see what we are up to in the community.
