Black Magazines That Have Weathered The Storm
Sister 2 Sister
Jamie Foster Brown, a former producer at BET, founded Sister 2 Sister Magazine as a monthly trade newsletter in 1988. Today, the monthly mag focuses on entertaining and catering to young black women. Brown, who still owns the company 23 years later, told Mediabistro last year that she has managed to boast 200,000 in circulation with only a small staff of less than nine people. Known for its lengthy interviews with celebrities, the magazine continues to be a credible source of entertainment news and views.
