Letter from the Publishers

Get in the Ring

All we can say is, “Wow!”

This year’s Black History Month celebrations in Las Vegas were beyond our imagination — and we appreciate the incredible efforts by businesses, community organizations, and non-profits to recognize a fundamental truth: Black history is American history.

We are thrilled to feature superstar actor Michael B. Jordan on this month’s cover, as he prepared for release of the highly-anticipated sequel “Creed III.” It is an extraordinary movie that brings to light the intricacies of relationships, self-appreciation, and the power of taking an unapologetic approach to individual accomplishment.

Of course, March also brings the celebration of Women’s History Month — and we are honored to feature an exclusive story on the iconic professional golfer Ann Gregory, who didn’t allow any barriers to stop her victories.

The Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health once again gave a fabulous fundraiser at the MGM Resort International. It was a star-studded affair raising funds to fight brain diseases that affect people from every walk of life. Thank you for once again including Las Black Image in this important cause.

The National 100 Black Women organization delighted us with their African Fashion Gala, showcasing fabulous style that puts our history and culture on center stage.

Las Vegas Black Image is full of gratitude for our partnership with the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District to host the 23rd Annual LV Taste & Sounds of Soul Extravaganza & LV Black Image Magazine Honors at the Flamingo Library. The partnership was masterful, and we thank the library district staff who made the event a wonderful experience for all.

We hope you enjoy this issue of Las Vegas Black Image Magazine and we again thank our team of contributing writers and executive publishing staff for bringing you their BEST!
