Our most iconic issue to date! The #BlackHistoryMonth issue of Speakers Some voices meet you at exactly the right time in your life. For me, Susan L. Taylor was that voice. Long before “thought leadership” became a buzzword, long before inspiration was packaged for clicks, her words through Essence Magazine reached deep into my spirit. As a young woman finding her footing, I didn’t just read her work. felt it. Her voice affirmed dignity, faith, purpose, and responsibility. It reminded me that success without soul is empty. Susan L. Taylor didn’t inspire from ego. She inspired from calling. Those words stayed with me through my career in journalism, public relations, publishing, and platform building. They quietly shaped how I see leadership and why I believe visibility must always be connected to service. That’s why this moment matters so deeply. To feature Susan L. Taylor on our special Black History Month issue of Speakers Magazine, released on her birthday -1/23, while honoring her 20 years of leadership with the National CARES Mentoring Movement, feels sacred. It is a reminder that the work we are called to do is not transactional—it’s generational. Mentorship. Stewardship. Faith in action. Susan L. Taylor’s legacy proves that when you speak from truth, your words outlive you. They ripple forward. They become someone else’s anchor. This cover is not about nostalgia. It’s about alignment. It’s about honoring the shoulders we stand on. It’s about acknowledging that platforms matter when they are built to uplift others. And it’s about saying thank you to a woman whose voice helped shape who I became. This is the work. This is the calling. And this is what it looks like when purpose meets timing. I’d been reading Essence Magazine since my teens—learning, dreaming, and seeing myself reflected in its pages. At 30, I met Susan L. Taylor, the woman whose words had quietly mentored me for years. A seed was planted. Many years later, Speakers Magazine was born—now going on 10 years of honoring Black excellence - in the spirit of Susan L. Taylor.
