Ebony Cover

At first glance, you’d think this cover was from years ago but in actuality, this is the most recent cover of Ebony Magazine in which our dear Helen Folesade Adu graces. Her beauty is so timeless and special that I swear this woman has the secret to the fountain of youth tucked securely between her bosom. Whatever she does to keep herself looking so fabulous, she should bottle it up and sell it on the streets. I’d sell like hotcakes! See this right here… it is a prime example of how black don’t crack. I love it.
