On this bittersweet episode of The Color Files, Host Julee GLOBAL Wilson (@MissJulee) says her final goodbyes as her four-year tenure at ESSENCE comes to an end. She takes a walk down memory lane where she reflects on her journey and all that she’s accomplished. There was no better way for Julee to drop the mic than to have the legendary First Lady of Beauty, Mikki Taylor (@iammikkitaylor), as her final guest! ESSENCE’s former Beauty and Covers Director (and current Editor-At-Large) talked about her 40-year run at Black Girl Magic Headquarters! Mikki shared so many unforgettable stories, including the iconic Obama family cover shoot, having a crib in her office back in the day, impromptu photoshoots in a tarantula filled desert, and much more. A truly full-circle conversation! Show some love to @MissJulee on Instagram as she embarks on her new journey!
