Last night, ESSENCE.com was honored at the 22nd Annual GLAAD Media Awards for the coverage of the same-sex marriage of Aisha Mills and Danielle Moodie in the weekly column “Bridal Bliss.”
ESSENCE.com’s Managing Editor Emil Wilbekin took the stage to accept the award. “For over 40 years,” he said, “ESSENCE is the place where Black women come first — all Black women.” Here, Wilbekin holds the statue alongside Relationships Editor Bobbi Misick (left), and the loving couple Aisha and Danielle. Congrats!
