Meet the Jacksons

In the film Michael, Colman Domingo, Nia Long, and Jaafar Jackson step into one of the most sacred legacies in music: The life, The family, and The genius that is Michael Jackson.

From Gary, Indiana to stages across the globe, the journey unfolds through music, sacrifice, and ambition. The story moves through a father’s discipline, a mother’s grace, and the quiet weight carried by a child destined for greatness.

Because before the icon, there was a son. Before the myths, there was a family.

At its core, Michael is about complexity. Talent and pressure. Growth and expectation. This time, the story is told with care.

From Off the Wall to looking at the Man in the Mirror, the reflection reveals the full picture of the soul of Michael.

Romance is back and it’s got a passport stamp!

For years, we’ve been craving the kind of love stories that once gave us Nina and Darius, Monica and Quincy, Syd and Dre. The soft, funny, heart-tugging magic of Black rom-coms that made us believe in love again.

Now, You, Me & Tuscany arrives like a warm breeze off the Italian coast, reminding us exactly what we’ve been missing.

Starring Halle Bailey and Regé-Jean Page as our new favorite couple, Anna and Michael. For a minute, Hollywood forgot how to let Black love be soft, joyful, and a little messy in the best way. This film remembers.

So yes, there’s romance. Yes, there’s drama. But most of all? There’s the reminder that love can still surprise you, especially when you least expect it.

Sometimes healing looks like laughter. Sometimes, it looks like letting love meet you exactly where you are, and sometimes, it looks like Tuscany.

The power of Sinners lives in the women who helped bring it to life.

Zinzi Coogler, Ruth E. Carter, Autumn Durald Arkapaw, Jayme Lawson, Wunmi Mosaku, Shunika Terry-Jennings, and Hannah Beachler shaped the film’s visual language and cultural depth. Through design, cinematography, hair, performance, and world-building, they helped reimagine Black history through horror, myth, and memory.

The results speak loudly. A box-office phenomenon. Sixteen historic Oscar nominations.

But the real impact lives deeper. These women did more than tell a story about ancestry and survival. They protected it.
Frame by frame, Sinners reminds us that when Black women create with intention, it becomes legacy.

The Women of Sinners are our 2026 ESSENCE Black Women in Hollywood Luminaries. Read more at ESSENCE.com.

A’ja Wilson keeps making the impossible look like part of the routine.

The Las Vegas Aces star became the first player in WNBA history with multiple 45-point games after dropping 45 points in a 101-94 win over the Connecticut Sun.

She did it while shooting an impressive 15-for-18 from the field and a perfect 13-for-13 from the free-throw line. And because one historic milestone apparently wasn’t enough for one night, Wilson also became the first player in league history to record five 40-point games in a career.

Nine seasons in, A’ja isn’t just chasing greatness anymore. She’s building her own wing inside the record books.

Not to be dramatic, but this is about to be one of those ESSENCE Fest moments people talk about for years.

@michelleobama returns to the ESSENCE Festival Main Stage for a conversation that’s guaranteed to have everyone hanging onto every word.

Get your front row seat to hear from our Forever First Lady for a special taping of @imopodcasts for a conversation filled with joy, reflection, laughter, and the kind of gems that stay with you long after the weekend is over.

Get your tickets now.

Despite the evolving dating scene, some believe classic love stories are gone. Romantic tropes like marrying high school sweethearts or longtime friends turning into love still occur daily, and Jaylon and Janessa Johnson prove that true love finds its way home.

The newlyweds first met in Fresno, California, while in middle school, and stayed connected throughout high school. Although the pair quietly hid their crushes on one another, they never fully explored romance at the time. Instead, they built a friendship, unknowingly laying the groundwork for something much deeper later in life.

Life eventually pulled the couple in different directions. Still, timing finally stepped in when Janessa graduated from nursing school and reconnected with Jaylon through a DM, which quickly evolved into late-night talks and eventually a first date that left a lasting impression on Jaylon.

Through career demands, personal growth, and the everyday challenges life can bring, Jaylon and Janessa continued to choose each other every step of the way.

The newlyweds recently cemented their love with a breathtaking wedding at Eden Roc Cap Cana in the Dominican Republic, surrounded by their closest family and friends.

Check out the stunning images from their special day in this week’s Bridal Bliss.

Still fired up, still ready to go!

Today, our marching orders come from Mother Annie Pearl Avery, a living bridge between the movement then and the fight now.

As she continues to stand on the front lines for our voting rights, the least we can do is meet her with our voices and our actions.

March on, march on.

The All Roads Lead to the South March has made its way to the Edmund Pettus Bridge, generations later, and still marching for the same simple promise, the right to vote freely, fairly, and without obstruction.

Stay tuned for more updates.

ESSENCE is on the ground in Montgomery and Selma as leaders, organizers, and changemakers gather alongside Dr. Bernice A. King to protect our voting rights with the All Roads Lead to the South March.

In the wake of recent Supreme Court decisions threatening Black voting power across the South, we stay awake, alert, and committed to building bold, nonviolent solutions that move us all forward.

Montgomery, AL (birthplace of the civil rights movement) is making moves!✊🏾💛

We are so hyped for the inaugural A Fine & Dandy Affair™ on May 16, 2026. A city-owned cultural experience in partnership with ESSENCE? Say less.

Expect Southern elegance, a high-end fashion show, and a gala that defines Montgomery’s creative future. The best part? It’s for EVERYBODY.
