You know we love a good adventure with the girls, and no getaway is better than a girlsโ trip to New Orleans for Essence Festival.
Where else in the world can you spend a weekend hanging with your squad, filling your belly, turning up with the stars and doing it for the โgram, all while being surrounded by your fellow sisters in melanin magic?
Only at Essence Festival, thatโs where! (I mean, did Girlโs Trip not teach you anything?!)
These girl squads helped us ring in 25 years of Essence Festival and we felt the joy in their hearts. No matter whether if they were a girl gang of two or a squad of 10, these women were too cute for words, and we couldnโt be happier that they chose to celebrate #BlackGirlMagic with us.
