February asks us to look closer.
Not just at who we love, but at how we love. Not just about Black history, but about who is making it right now. Not just in relationships, but in the standards, boundaries, and healing we bring into them.
This issue is a mirror.
In it, you’ll see legacy, not as something locked in the past, but alive in our barbershops, our businesses, our homes, and our everyday choices. You’ll see love, not as fantasy, but as intention, self-respect, and accountability. You’ll see community, reflected through people who show up consistently, quietly, and with care.
Featuring Deon Patton on the cover is no accident. His story represents what happens when craft meets commitment, when Black entrepreneurship becomes generational, and when presence matters as much as talent.
As you turn these pages, I invite you to pause and reflect. Who are you becoming? What patterns are you breaking? What love are you finally choosing to give yourself?
Black history is not just something we honor. It is something we live.
Yours In Service,
Yanice Yvette Carter
