When we first saw this cover, we thought maybe Dylan Stableford was fucking with us. Black kids on the cover of a magazine? We didn't know that was even allowed. Maybe because Conde Nast's Cookie is the only other kids magazine we're familiar with (and by familiar we of course mean "obsessed) and they only put snowflake babies and white breats on the front of their perfect-child-alogs.

So, what's the deal with Black Boy magazine? Well, Feona Sharhran Huff is the founder and publisher, and her mission with this magazine is to empower Black boys and help them build the tools necessary to succeed in life.

As a result of me being the Education Field Reporter for Our Time Press Newspaper where I wrote a Three-Part Series on “Black Boys and Education,” coupled with the fact I'm raising a Black boy, I was compelled to start a magazine for Black boys, ages 2 to 17. Black boys don't have anything on an editorial level to empower them, show them love, or give them direction as well as an opportunity to develop the tools necessary to succeed in life. That's what Black Boy Magazine will do.

We, for one, think it's pretty awesome. Especially because we were afraid that Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were going to start a magazine before anyone else had the chance.
