Dwyane Wade Ebony Cover Honors Trayvon Martin

Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade is honoring slain Florida teen Trayvon Martin again, this time posing with his two young sons in hoodies on the cover of Ebony. Wade has been outspoken throughout the complex, polarizing case that recently ended with the even more controversial George Zimmerman verdict . He wrote messages on his shoes in honor of Martin when the story first gathered attention in 2012, and organized a team photo of the Heat in hoodies. Wade is one of Ebony ‘s four cover photos. The others include Spike Lee and his son, actor Boris Kodjoe and his son, and Martin’s parents and brother. The magazine’s upcoming issue features an examination by the three prominent celebrities on how they “approach the topic of racism with their sons.” “As a mother of a young black boy, the tragedy of Trayvon Martin affected me deeply,” Ebony editor-in-chief Amy Barnett said in a statement. “We simply cannot allow the conversations on this issue to come to a standstill.” Do you agree?

Jill Scott covers Billboard Magazine’s latest issue (week of July 2). Earlier this week, she released her fourth studio album after a 4-year hiatus that saw her get engaged and pregnant but, ultimately, left single. Inside, she talks about how she overcame the heartbreak and what she’s learned. On her new album “The Light Of The Sun”: “It’s exciting, because it’s on my own terms. I feel like my eyes are going to bulge out of my head. It’s like starting all over again. Music shouldn’t be a chore or feel like any kind of burden. It’s free and alive. And that’s where I am.”‘ On what she’s learned over the last 4 years: “I’ve missed myself. I’m sassy again, stronger. Now I understand this industry to a certain extent, and know how I work best. Having my son was one of the key factors in me leaving the old label. I need him to see me be as amazing as I can be so he feels fearless. I haven’t arrived at amazing yet. I’m in the process. But I want him to see me grow. I want to get another 30 years out of this amazing life of being an artist.” Jill Scott & Anthony Hamilton Are “So In Love” [NEW VIDEO] Jill Scott Shows Off 50-Lb.
