Introducing #StylingtheYard EBONY’s October cover powered by @mielleorganics.
This cover is a tribute to the student stylists and culture-shapers who turn creativity into confidence and tradition into trends. From dorm room chairs to the main yard, they embody the pride and purpose that make HBCUs legendary. Because on the yard, hair isn’t just about looks. It’s about legacy. 🖤

Homeownership is not only a powerful wealth-generating tool, but it also improves health, educational, and social outcomes for homeowners and their households. Unfortunately, women face disproportionate barriers to homeownership access due to lower incomes, uneven care responsibilities, and mortgage denials and rates. JOIN ME and my team in breaking down the gendered barriers to homeownership by in support of @habitatchicago’s 12th annual #CHIWomenBuild: https://my.habitatchicago.org/WomenBuild2024/KyraEpps @rollingout @habitatchicago #CHIWomenBuild #affordablehomeownership by @necyray
