Essence Celebrates Black Women in Hollywood

Essence magazine hosted a black women in Hollywood luncheon to coincide with the Oscars. Their annual black Hollywood issue with a Hollywood power list (3 women are in the top 10: Halle Berry, Jada Pinkett Smith and Queen Latifah) is on newsstands now. Included are interviews with up and comers Jurnee Smollet and Raven- Symone (who is already a mogul herself).

I like this picture so much better than the one on the cover of Vanity Fair. All these women actually have clothes on and look like they are enjoying themselves and celebrating something, rather than looking pinched and hungry like on the cover of Vanity Fair.
