A Conversation With Magazine Publishing Pioneer Susan Taylor
Join us for a one-on-one conversation with Susan L. Taylor, magazine publishing icon and the driving force behind Essence Magazine. Inspired by her vision about the value of mentoring as a weapon against the forces that are devastating the lives of young African Americans, she left Essence in January 2008 after 37 years to devote her full-time energies to mobilizing mentors from government agencies, corporations, community groups, and faith-based organizations.
Taylor talks about the National CARES Mentoring Movement, a nationwide call-to-action campaign she founded in 2006 as Essence Cares. The National CARES Mentoring Movement is a monumental campaign to recruit 1 million adults to mentor vulnerable African American children and youth who are in crisis and losing ground. The movement's goals are to increase high school graduation rates among African American students, end youth violence in black communities, and reduce the high rates of incarceration among young African Americans.
Taylor is serving on CWLA's National Leadership Council, which will play an important role in CWLA's efforts to develop strategic approaches to increase public awareness, promote advocacy, and inspire systematic reform of America's child welfare system.
