“My #BlackGirlMagic magazine finally came and I’m literally so happy to see black girls in a magazine so thanks to @Sesimag for creating this magazine ️🙂”

― @DajaWilson98

“I look forward to your magazine issues when they come in the mail! It makes me appreciate and love Black culture even more 👏🏿❤️👌🏿”

― @dancing.j96

“I am so impressed by your magazine. It makes me sooo happy to see magazine covers with a Black girl on it. Thank you for showing the representation that most magazines lack! 💕”

― @daniigriffith

“I love that it’s a magazine focused on a group of girls who are often some of the most judged. It’s kind of like a safe space, just on paper.”

― @IAmBriyonce

“I just wanted to tell y’all that I love the magazine 💙💙💙 . It’s nice to have a mag for black girls in my demographic and to read about stuff I actually care about.”

― @nicoleeeojj

“What can I say? I love that #sesimag covers EVERYTHING I’m interested in. It’s well written and funny … It’s a great exhibition of black feminine dopeness.”

― @SAXjetsON

“I like this magazine because it is relateable to me in pretty much every way. As far as hair, fashion, age, and ethnicity. I really fell in love with this magazine when my mom gave it to me as a gift.”

― Faith E.

“I used to be obsessed with Seventeen magazine but recently I stopped reading because the culture of the magazine was very different from mine as a young black girl. I began to wish that there was a magazine like Essence, except personalized for my age group. So, one day I just figured I would research and I typed in the google search bar. ‘Magazines for teenage black girls,’ hoping to find something. Then I found Sesi magazine, and my prayers were answered.”

― Kennadi H.

“There’s finally a black girl magazine! I can identify with the slang, with the topics, it’s funny and intelligent and uplifting and a whole host of other wonderful adjectives. There aren’t any other periodicals besides this one that I know of that recognize how singular and challenging the experience of being a black girl is and Sesi lets me escape to a place where it is all about ME and US. Thank you for this gift! Know you’ve found an avid reader and fan in me.”

― Taylor D.
