Essence by Mail The Fashion Catalog for Today's Modern Woman Beauty & Resilience: The History of Essence Magazine Essence magazine has represented Black women and their voices for over 50 years. This award-winning magazine began as a resource for the Black community by placing fashion, lifestyle, and beauty at the forefront. The idea was birthed in 1968, when Edward Lewis, Clarence O. Smith, Cecil Hollingsworth and Jonathan Blount founded Hollingsworth Group. This would later be named Essence Communications, Inc. Originally titled “Sapphire Magazine”, the founders aimed to have the title reflect the gem-like beauty and resilience of Black women. Luckily, they changed the title after discussions about the harmful Sapphire stereotype and readers’ likelihood to associate the magazine with the disrespectful trope. In May of 1970, the first issue of Essence Magazine was ready to grace the shelves. According to Lewis and Smith, the lifestyle publication was supposed to be aimed at “upscale African-American women”.
