It's simply not possible to be an aspiring, African-American, female journalist and NOT want to write for Essence magazine. It's a dream I had even before I entered J-school. Determined and blissfully ignorant of the competition I pitched and pitched, and wrote and wrote until I landed my first assignment for essence some 15 years ago. Though it's been awhile, over the years I've written stories and features for the print and online versions -- celebrity profiles, reviews, quizzes and more. I've worked with Diane Weathers, Linda Villarosa, Claire McIntosh, Angela Burt Murray, Cori Murray, Kierna Mayo and so many other talented writers, editors and artists. What an experience! The legendary Susan L. Taylor (don't forget the L.) said to me at the end of one extended assignment: "Heather I'll see you again. You're part of the Essence family." At the time, I thought: "Well, that's hokey." Wiser now, I know that it's true.
