Ebony magazine has been a cultural arbiter and a staple in black
households in America since its first issue in November 1945.
Founded by John H. Johnson, Ebony reported on, and continues to
chronicle, every aspect of life from fashion to civil rights,
entertainment, and cooking, and it has become the authoritative
perspective for and about the black community. Curated by Ebony
Publishing s president and publisher, Lavaille Lavette, this
all-out feast of a book is packed with exclusive contributions by
Ebony s editor in chief Tracey Ferguson, as well as a host of
celebrities, influencers, and cultural icons, including Beyonce
Knowles-Carter, Will Smith, Samuel L. Jackson, Quincy Jones, Snoop
Dogg, Magic Johnson, Deshaun Watson, and Eddie Levert. The book
includes more than 600 covers and photographs featuring political
forces such as Martin Luther King Jr., Michelle and President
Barack Obama, and Congresswoman Maxine Waters; entertainers such as
Diana Ross, Sidney Poitier, Dorothy Dandridge, Oprah Winfrey,
Prince, and Kanye West; as well as sports heroes like Serena
Williams, Muhammad Ali, Russell Westbrook, and Simone Biles. It
also contains select articles, features, and reportage of note,
including Martin Luther King Jr. s advice column, and Ebony Fashion
Fair photo shoots, divided into categories found within the
magazine, including the Gorgeous Women of Ebony: Fashion, Beauty,
and Style, Ebony Love, Ebony Men, and Date With a Dish. Unique in
the quality of its photographs and contributors, this book is a
monumental milestone and inspiration for African American culture
mavens as well as seventy-five years of Ebony readers.
Have you ever gotten to the point in your life where one day is
like all the rest? Where the individuality, excitement and purpose
of every moment is drained of its promising complexion? Through
work, school, family and routine, people strive more and more to
'get by' rather than 'get going.' But God didn't intend for it to
be like this. Every precious second in a day, all 86,400 of them,
is a gift from Him to us. Our lives, that we whittle away with
routine and complacency, are meant for so much more. 86,400 is the
instigator for a renewed life of intention and relevance-ultimately
making the most out of every single day. By showcasing how she and
Christians who carry either celebrity or inspirational significance
manage their daily gift, Lavaille effectively teaches readers how
they can fulfill God's intended purpose. 86,400 will include
contributions from many outside sources including TD Jakes, Steve
Harvey, Nancy Grace, Sherri Shepherd, Mehmet Oz and Joel Osteen as
well as unknown yet inspirational figures.
