No one was ready for the slayage these magazines brought for their September issues.
Serena Williams, Beyoncé, Misty Copeland, Queen Latifah, Ciara, Kerry Washington, Willow Smith and Amandla Stenberg are serving all of the black girl magic on their respective covers. Activist Janet Mock celebrated the covers on Twitter:
