Essence Magazine has hired Pamela Edwards for the position of Beauty and Fashion Features Editor. An African Studies/English major at Vassar University, Edwards tried her hand at teaching before moving to New York and says that she has worked many odd jobs before meeting Monique Greenwood, the then Editor-In-Chief of Essence.
The Fashion Bomb quotes Edwards as saying:

I met her through a mutual friend over brunch at her restaurant, Akwaaba. As we all chatted, Monique mentioned that Essence needed a fashion and beauty writer. My friend replied, Pam can do that.

Edwards sent Monique her resume without giving it much thought and months later she was invited for an interview. As for tips for aspiring women who want to work in the industry, Edwards recommends that they read a lot, and not only.

“Keep yourself inspired. Whatever it is that inspires you, do it. Visit museums, travel, read-everything. By feeding your head, heart and soul, you’ll bring even more beauty and style to your work.”
