I first wrote for VIBE in 2008 on assignment, and that assignment ran in print. It was my first byline in a magazine I had read for years — and the first time my work shifted from something I was chasing to something I was inside of.
The assignment was a Jennifer Beals feature tied to a Flashdance anniversary. I had grown up watching her on screen. Interviewing her — realizing she was just a person in real time, reflecting on a role that had already taken on its own cultural life — changed how I understood access and storytelling.
Around that same period, I was learning the publishing business more directly through Len Burnett in Detroit, my hometown, and Keith Clinkscales as co-publishers, with Asten Morgen heading sales. It was a male-dominated space, but they always picked up the phone. They taught me how the business actually functions behind what readers see on the page.
VIBE today is still built through that same layered newsroom structure — editorial leadership at the top, and a rotating group of writers shaping daily output across music, culture, and entertainment.
Here's who's doing that editorial work now.
Christine Imarenezor
Christine anchors VIBE's editorial direction, shaping coverage across music and culture and overseeing how stories are developed and framed across the site. She is the connective tissue between the platform's voice and its daily output.

Mosi writes music criticism and cultural reporting that places current releases in direct conversation with the broader history of hip-hop and R&B. His work reads like a living archive.
DeMicia Inman
DeMicia covers music and entertainment through reporting that centers artist narratives and cultural moments as they unfold — on the ground, in real time.

Preezy Brown
Preezy covers hip-hop culture and industry movement — artists, releases, and the ongoing shifts defining the genre right now.
Andy Greene
Andy brings a long-form, historical lens to music and entertainment coverage — situating present-day stories within broader industry timelines and the deeper cultural record.
What stands out to me now is how the structure of VIBE has stayed consistent: editorial direction at the top, and writers who come in and shape the cultural record through daily reporting. My first assignment put me inside that system. What I see now is its continuation — different voices, each adding their own layer to the archive in real time.
