The May 2012 issue of EBONY drops today with a brilliant cover editorial on Michelle Obama. The print edition includes a special eight-page report on motherhood that begins on page 120. Included are two features written by yours truly including "She Calls Us Both Mom" on page 126, a profile of a lesbian mother.
This was our second assignment for the magazine. Our first report—"Making It Work: Black Same Sex Couples Raising Kids in the South"—was in the October 2011 issue. That article was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Magazine Article.
This is excellent. Thank you for your reporting and congrats!

I'm seriously shocked, Ebony never reports on anything involving gays maybe a change has come.

Beautiful! I am so happy that you are writing for Ebony and reporting "our" issues. Ebony is iconic and it's read in every barbershop and beauty salon. Bravo!
