LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHERS: Spurred on, never holding our horses

Las Vegas Black Image always celebrates the urge to break out of the box — to accept the challenge of exploring and excelling at the unexpected. That’s what Beyoncé did with “Cowboy Carter,” a country music album that got the international icon her first Grammy for Album of the Year, and is now the creative foundation of a tour that will now play two dates at Allegiant Stadium. Our cover story looks at how we can all be inspired by her vision and success. 

Staying in the realm of trying something new, this issue inaugurates LIVING: a new section that features lifestyle ideas that contribute to your positive wellbeing. It includes the return of “Food for the Soul,” featuring tasteful recipes to prepare and enjoy; the debut of “The House is a Home,” offering ideas for enhancing your home décor; and “Planting Your Seeds,” which takes you on an outdoor exploration to live out loud with nature. 

Elsewhere in this edition: 

• The Historic Westside is changing, and our Community Speaks out on who should have ownership of its future. 
• Columnist Louie Overstreet looks at why our current political moment makes very little sense. 
• Kimberly Smith goes over how the appraisal process affects your real estate deals. 
• Local Las Vegas star Brittany Soul looks back at her career and achievements in virtually every part of the entertainment industry. 

All of this amazing content is made possible by the incredible advertisers who support Las Vegas Black Image and give our community a voice. And a huge thank you to our loyal readers and supporters — who continue to lift this magazine to new heights. WE SEE YOU!

Rise,
