Physical Self-Care – Things for Your Toolkit
July 28, 2020
For the first time in its 20-year history, O Magazine will not feature a photo of Oprah Winfrey. The September issue, which hits stands on August 11, will share a photo of Breonna Taylor and focus on antiracism and white privilege.
Alexis Francis, a 24-year-old, self-trained digital artist, created the cover for the magazine using a selfie of Breonna Taylor and placing her on a yellow background. I love the idea of a young Black female artist creating the cover of an international magazine to share information on systemic racism and how to counter it.
The issue includes lists of Black-owned businesses readers can support, organizations to donate to, petitions to sign, articles to read and more. White readers share "when they were most acutely aware of their white privilege—and what, in the wake of thunderous calls for justice, they are doing to dismantle the status quo."
