ESSENCE on Instagram: "A joy that can't be taken away. Even during our time of grief, we must find joy in knowing we are loved. Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen are our prime examples. Their mother, the legendary Dr. Vivian Ayers Allen, recently passed away, and during her celebration of life, they did just that, celebrated a life well lived. This is the timeline cleanse we needed."

ESSENCE on Instagram: "Whew, look at God! There’s nothing like a supportive Black mom in your corner! Congratulations to Tramell Tillman, who has made history as the first Black actor to win an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role in Severance. #ESSENCE"
