ESSENCE Fest Backlash Costs this Tether $400K?
*ESSENCE Fest Backlash Costs This Tether $400K?* Former ESSENCE CEO Caroline Wanga says the backlash surrounding ESSENCE Fest cost her business hundreds of thousands of dollars. If true, what does that tell us about the power of Black consumers? For years, many have argued that Black Americans have no political or economic leverage. Yet when consumers organize, businesses often feel the impact. The question is not whether economic pressure works—the question is whether we're willing to use it consistently and strategically. Tonight we'll discuss the ESSENCE controversy, accountability, economic boycotts, and whether Black Americans should demand tangible benefits in exchange for their support.
