"Scandal" creator Shonda Rhimes, MSNBC's Joy-Ann Reid, political commentator Angela Rye, and Circle of Mothers founder Sybrina Fulton all made the list.

In their newest issue, Essence Magazine is celebrating the sistas of the resistance—and it’s seriously amazing!

Rocking “Stay Woke” tee-shirts, this is one powerful array of women: writer/producer Shonda Rhimes, MSNBC’s Joy-Ann Reid, Women’s March co-chairs Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour and Carmen Perez. In addition, our favorite political commentator Angela Rye, Circle of Mothers founder Sybrina Fulton, #OscarsSoWhite April Reign and #BlackLivesMatter cofounder Opal Tometi also made the list!

5. I read Essence, which might seem odd for a 71 year old white guy.

My wife subscribed our household to a pretty long list of magazines, since it was one of the few ways we could use up some expiring points from an airline frequent flyer program. We don't use that airline any more. So, she checked off a bunch of boxes and the magazines started arriving.

I have been paging through a lot of mags i wouldn't usually read, due to that. Essence is one of the ones I actually read. Not all of it, but some of the articles give me an interesting insight I wouldn't have seen otherwise.
