All Essence had to say was “ Ooop Bookie sorry but just know you’re invited to everything from now on “. That’s it and that’s all 💁🏽♀️

Why not just interview him and have him shed light on the “issue” you’re presenting in the article? If he didn’t respond then that’s different.

I feel like they gave him a shout out. It only gets better from there … they are initiating it. Obama was on the cover essence, he can wait his turn .

They should have been reached out to him for a collaboration. Definitely could see him doing content for Essence Fest. He would draw in a younger crowd.

That was a great answer but it could’ve been an email and he could’ve made a connection for future opportunities.

Essence is ass for that. Can’t forget these are real people running these brands and pages. Professionalism needs help.

Who ever is responding for Essence needs to be reassigned. Instead of responding via social media they should have reached out to him and genuinely addressed his VALID concerns.

Raymonte would have killed at the essence festival having a “girls weekend in nola” they missed a great opportunity to work w him -it’s truly their loss! Raymonte will be fine, he is THAT GIRL✨

A simple I would love to collab and make this a bigger conversation. Would have opened doors. No chance was giving to see where it could have went.

They had no interest in platforming him. What they should've done was use this piece as a springboard into a formal introduction/interview, while highlighting the lack of opportunities 4 blk creatives

I think something that people aren’t understanding is these two brands don’t overlap. And simply having a following does not translate to marketability

Raymonte is himself and that’s what we love! He was more than respectful and in the right to address Essence.

Stylish Curves :
They should’ve reached out to interview him & get his point of view about the trip & lack of brand deals. And asked him about his platform. That would’ve been helpful

Essence has been homophobic and exclusionary in the past to black gay men being featured and thats a larger convo
