Letter from the Publishers

Wishing you health and wellness

Our loyal readers stir deep gratitude in the Las Vegas Black Image family. You are the inspiration for our commitment to confronting negative images with the uplifting stories and photos that are the hallmark of this magazine each month.

Thanks to the inimitable singer and her outstanding team, Erykah Badu graces the cover of this month’s issue — which also ushers in the “Las Vegas Black Image Magazine Health Initiative: Go to the Doctor,” sponsored by Intermountain Healthcare. We kicked off the initiative with Caravan for Mammogram — and are gearing up to deliver a continuous flow of health information, health resources, and opportunities to build personal relationships with medical professionals dedicated to your wellness.

Wellness was also at the center of Las Vegas Black Image: At the Beach. It was a tremendous success and we thank all who attended this health and wellness event in La Jolla, Calif.

Also in this issue: our heartfelt prayers go out to the families of Melvin “Beetle” Ennis and Deejay Rashad “Certified” Mullins. You both have done so much to uplift our community and you will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace.

The city is abuzz with the success of the Las Vegas Raiders, and we captured the excitement of fans who came out to the Death Star for the season’s first home game.

Remember to pick up your FREE copy of Las Vegas Black Image Magazine each month at all participating Albertsons supermarkets, Clark County-Las Vegas Library branches, cultural arts centers, and select businesses. Also, upon request, you can receive Black Image Magazine along with the Las Vegas Review Journal newspaper
