LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHERS: If we took a holiday, some time to celebrate

As we close out another remarkable year, we are excited to share this special holiday issue of Las Vegas Black Image — an edition filled with inspiration, celebration, and the joy of community. We hope it adds a vibrant spark to your Kwanzaa and Christmas festivities. 

This month, we are honored to feature Sherri Shepherd on our cover. Her heartfelt acceptance speech at the unveiling of her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was truly moving. Her testimony of resilience, perseverance, and unwavering faith in Jesus Christ reminds us that blessings do come through hard work, discipline, and perseverance. 

We are equally grateful to our community members who shared their voices in Community Speaks: Their reflections on priceless treasures that “don’t cost a dime” offer meaningful perspective during this season of giving. 

The Living section offers festive ideas to brighten your celebrations, and we salute Raiders defensive star Charles Snowden for giving back to the community during a time when food insecurity continues to impact so many Nevadans. No matter the result of any one game or season, his spirit of service makes him a champion both on and off the field. 

To our contributing writers and advertisers: thank you for your continued support throughout our 17 years of publishing Las Vegas Black Image. Your commitment helps sustain our mission and amplify the stories that matter. Our executive publishing team—graphic designers, editors, distribution partners, and printing professionals—deserve special recognition. Their creativity, dedication, and excellence bring every issue to life, giving our community a powerful and enduring voice. 

Thanks to all of them, there is so much more joy, culture, and inspiration awaiting you in these pages. And thank you for inviting us into your homes and hearts this holiday season. 

Wishing you joy, peace, and a wonderful new year!

Rise,
