A lot has happened in the past week. Owner and now former CEO of Essence
Magazine and Former Owner and current CEO of Shea Moisture, Richelieu
Dennis has had allegations of sexual harassment and fostering a toxic
workplace made against him by a group claiming to be employees of
Essence Magazine. He has since stepped down as CEO of Essence but he
remains the CEO of Shea Moisture.
While I primarily do natural hair product reviews (mostly black WOMAN owned companies) on my channel, it is also important to make sure that we are all aware of the news affecting our communities. Please be informed, especially if you still purchase from Shea Moisture.
Note that Richelieu Dennis is still the owner of Essence Ventures which includes Essence Magazine and the Essence Festival.
