2 min read
Dear Readers,
Welcome to the 25th issue of Intellectual Ink Magazine, a literary haven for avid readers and prolific writers alike. In this issue, Charlotte’s Closet celebrates Hip-Hop’s 50th anniversary and takes a look at its worldwide impact on fashion, culture, and the music industry as a whole. We explore the Hip Hop Museum and “The Book Of Hov,” a tribute exhibition at the Brooklyn Public Library, Central Branch. In “#writenews,” we spotlight the insightful perspectives of author and publisher T.M. Jefferson, as well as the accomplished Loretta R. Walls. Their words remind us of the power of storytelling and the endless possibilities it offers.
We delve deeper into the arts and entertainment world with our features on Ravi Coltrane, Real Music Records, and Thomas “Fats” Waller one of the funniest jazz pianists who ever lived. We welcome two new columnists Phoenix Kabali and JB Favour, and we are excited to share their extraordinary talents with our readership. Inside, you will find plenty of book recommendations, reviews, and spotlights to add to your library. Lastly, we confront critical issues in “Black Men and Mental Health: WTF is Going On?” acknowledging the importance of mental well-being and creating space for open discussions.
As you immerse yourselves in the diverse tapestry of content within these pages, may you find inspiration, insight, and a renewed passion for both the written word and the world that surrounds us. Thank you for being a part of the Intellectual Ink Magazine community.
Happy reading!
