“By the Way, Meet Sanaa Lathan” offers a candid interview with the
actress who discusses her return to Broadway later this month after a
starring role on the London stage, how she deals the challenges of
professional rejection and keeps tight lipped about who she may or may
not be dating.

Editor-At-Large Star Jones candidly discusses how she reclaimed her life
(and her groove) after her divorce four years ago with a combination of
travel, pity parties and great friends.

From a travel perspective, Uptown offers looks at lavish relaxing in
Barbados, the food and taste of New Orleans, revisiting Jamaica and
joining hip Europeans at Jazz Fest in Montreux Switzerland.

“Confessions of a Talented Mind” features Massachusetts Governor Deval
Patrick on his thoughts about hip-hop, gay marriage and what he’s
learned from his wife.

“The celebs featured in this issue cover all aspects of African American
influence,” said Brett Wright, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer.
“From politicians to musicians to actors, we continue to be the
influencers and trendsetters.”

“Travel is my favorite form of continuing education,” said
Editor-in-Chief Keija Minor. “This issue highlights the food and
cultures around the globe.”

New advertisers include the Turks & Caicos Islands Tourist Board, the
Viceroy Anguilla Resort, Heineken, Palm Beach County Florida Convention
and Visitors Bureau, The Atlanta Jazz Festival, Martha’s Vineyard Comedy
and Alpha Living.
