Description
ESSENCE is a brand that has been at the forefront of celebrating Black women and their achievements for over 50 years. From providing the latest celebrity news to covering important topics like relationships, fashion, beauty, and health & wellness, ESSENCE offers a wide range of content that resonates with its diverse audience. One of the most influential moments in music history was the release of Lauryn Hill's iconic debut solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, which celebrated its 25th anniversary.
ESSENCE takes you on a journey back to Hill's hometown of Newark, where she came of age, with insights from Ras Baraka, the current mayor of Newark and a contributor to her album. This article delves into the inspiration behind Hill's masterpiece, with discussions of her influences, such as listening to Nina Simone and meeting at Sylvia's restaurant in Harlem. It also explores the significance of Newark as the backdrop for the album, as the city was still healing from a previous rebellion.
Baraka's role in facilitating important interludes on love adds depth to the album. ESSENCE continues to be a platform that amplifies Black voices and celebrates the achievements and experiences of Black women. Stay connected with ESSENCE to be part of the cultural conversations that matter
