Aphrochic Magazine: Issue No. 7
For our Summer 2021 issue, we have an issue full of color, life and all of the things that make our Diaspora beautiful. For our cover story, we are thrilled to sit down with one of our favorite folks in fashion, the amazing Charles Harbison. After a 5-year hiatus and a cross-country jump from New York to Los Angeles, Charles is back with the much-anticipated return of his eponymous fashion line, HARBISON. We also sit down with the iconic Dyana Williams. A legend of the Philadelphia radio scene that we grew up on, she’s better known outside the city as the mother of Black Music Month. We sat down with Dyana to talk about Black music, the newly opened National Museum of African American Music and the artists on her playlist that she feels are doing the most for the culture. In our Hot Topic, AphroChic contributor Ruby Brown takes an incisive look at Pride, all that the LGBTQIA+ community has accomplished and all that’s left to do. And in response to the growing debate over Critical Race Theory, which in the last months has taken over news feeds and legislative floors alike, we take a break from our ongoing discussion of the African Diaspora to offer a brief exploration of CRT, it’s origins, it’s concepts and why it seems to have everyone so upset. Throw in some amazing art from THE CONSTANT NOW gallery in Antwerp, inspirational words from author Alexandra Elle, and the latest updates from the outdoor spaces at the AphroFarmhouse and we think this issue will have you ready for the summer season.

Estelle Colored Glass Hosts A Stunning Fête To<br />
Support Local Food Purveyors in Charleston<br />
Stephanie Summerson Hall is the founder of Estelle Colored Glass, a luxury<br />
brand of colored glassware that’s handmade by artisans in Poland. Jewel-tone<br />
stemware, decanters and cake stands are all part of Stephanie’s collection<br />
that has a cult following. Oprah, Hoda and Martha are fans.<br />
To celebrate the launch of her new line of mint green martini glasses,<br />
Stephanie had an idea. She would host a casual brunch showcasing her new<br />
collection, and would include local bakeries and restaurants. “I like living in<br />
a community that is unique and so much of that uniqueness comes from the<br />
local restaurant and food purveyors in the community.”<br />
