Letter from the Publishers

With thankful hearts

We are especially proud to present this fabulous issue of Las Vegas Black Image to our loyal readers and supporters. It is a special one: November 8, 2022 will mark 14 consecutive years of publishing this magazine. Thank you for the honor.

Our fabulous Las Vegas Black Image Magazine executive publishing staff and contributing writers are always appreciated for maintaining the excellence that our community enjoys. And we are humbled by the many advertisers who support our work to tell the positive story of African-American life in Las Vegas and beyond.

That will always be our mission. In this issue:

● We honor KCEP 88.1 FM for providing 50 years of informative and entertaining programming for our community

● A visually-rich celebration of this year’s SpelHouse (Spelman College and Morehouse College) Homecoming in 2022, where more than 30,000 Black people basked in the familial glow of HBCU history

● Thanksgiving holiday recipes brought to you by some of the most influential residents of our Las Vegas valley

● A special thank you to Doolittle Active Adult Center director Cassandra Lewis for giving Black Image the opportunity to “Celebrate Seniors.”

● Scenes from the 5th Annual Las Vegas Caravan for Mammogram — which was a huge success thanks to sponsors Comprehensive Cancer Centers, Touro University, and Intermountain Healthcare. Dr. Annette Mayes: words cannot express how much we and all of the participants appreciate your — and the entire Las Vegas All Women’s Care staff’s — support. We also thank Rachel’s Kitchen for providing a fabulous lunch.

Enjoy your Thanksgiving. We wish continued blessings for you and your families.

With grateful hearts,
Charles Tureaud & Kimberly Bailey Tureaud
