Generational Wealth and the Legacy of Ebony Magazine

On this inaugural episode, host Jerome D. Love has a conversation with Eden Bridgeman-Sklenar, the only daughter of former NBA star Junior Brigeman, on what it’s like be the newest owners of two of the most iconic media institutions in the Black Community – EBONY and JET magazines.

During the conversation, Eden discusses why it’s still important for Black people to see themselves in publications, if the JET Beauty of the Week feature will make a comeback, plus her view on helping the community prioritize economics over image. Eden Bridgeman-Sklenar serves as owner of Ebony and JET magazines and is Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of Manna Inc. She is also a new mother and discusses her new drive, in hopes to continue establishing legacy through wealth building and philanthropy.
