Black Women are Dominating September Magazine Covers


September Magazines are the bad broads of the magazine world. Most September issues feature the publications best; best pieces, best advertisements, best fashion and beauty tips, the best cover shoots shot by the best photographers and styled by the best stylists. However, the September line up this year is also quite "colorful".

There are an attention-grabbing amount of Women of Color being featured on the September issues. From Issa Rae as the "O" in Ebony to Zendaya on Marie Claire to Lupita N'yongo on the cover of Porter, Black Women are literally dominating the covers of the most important issues of the top magazines this month.

The issue getting the most buzz right now is Beyoncé's Vogue takeover. Even she acknowledges the progress that has been made saying "When I first started, 21 years ago, I was told that it was hard for me to get onto covers of magazines because black people did not sell. Clearly, that has been proven a myth. " Clearly, queen.

It has been said that people typically featured on magazine covers are the "it" people of the moment, the trendsetters, tastemakers, and otherwise people of the moment. If that is true and September is where these publications are featuring the best cover people, then it can be clearly deduced that Black women may finally be getting the credit due them. Looks like the rest of the world finally caught on that Black Girls Rock. #BlackGirlMagic
