POV: GU Summit is turning five!
Weâre pulling out all the stops to usher in a new era as we celebrate 5 years of shaking sh*t up, disrupting the status quo, and amplifying the voices of todayâs young Black women, girls, and gender-expansive zillenials.
Meet us in Atlanta on October 12th for an unforgettable day of performances, conversations, networking, workshops, exclusive shopping opportunities, and so much more!

You heard @aliyahsinterlude â talk your sh-t! đŁď¸
In celebration of our resident It Girl's birthday yesterday, weâre throwing it back to when she visited our office and gave a quick gem on not letting others humble you.
Spoken like true Taurus!

Amid the chatter about #Challengers, Zendaya's character Tashi Duncan has been living rent-free in our heads.
ESSENCE sat down with Zendaya ahead of the premiere to dissect her dynamic role and the emotional stakes the character endures that echo what Black women experience often.

We need a word stronger than love to describe how we feel about @kayratheodoreâs hair art â because whew!
Since we're on the topic of braids, Kayra's took over social media today. The best part? Sheâs the hands behind the magic.
What we can do with our hair is truly EVERYTHING.

"No one on the planet was going to tell me what to do with my body or what to share with the world."
Today marks the last day of Black Maternal Health Week, but the right to our bodies and the way we share our journeys of motherhood amid scrutiny is a continuous battle.
Halle Bailey, our Black Women In Hollywood honoree and new mom, got open and honest about protecting her peace throughout her pregnancy regardless of online criticism. Despite many opinions on what she "shouldâve" done, we can all take a page from her book.

Spring is here, the weather is getting above 80, festival season has begun and we have new music to carry us through the season.đŽâđ¨
This is the ONLY way weâre stepping from now on. Literally!
