Blake Newby, Beauty & Style Editor Departs Essence
Blake Newby, Beauty & Style Editor Leaves Essence
In a transparent TikTok, former Beauty & Style Editor at ESSENCE, Blake Newby shared how her privilege of support from her parents played a role in her being where she is in her successful career in the editorial industry — especially as a Black woman.
As she has said farewell to her role at Essence, Newby is entering a new space to back up what she preaches about bridging the gap between culture and capital.
As of now, she has yet to disclose further details on her role and the VC firm’s name.
