Essence cover

Bailey appears on the cover of Essence to talk about her modeling career and her how Essence helped her become more mainstream.

This was my first @essencemag cover. It was shot in 1995. It literally flew off the newsstands & was one of their highest selling covers! June 2015 will be the 20 year anniversary. This cover was very instrumental in making my modeling career hugely successful. I am forever grateful to @essencemag for their love & support! I can’t believe that I have been a part of the @essencemag family for 20 years! Never forget the people who believed in you & saw the vision even before you did. I am so honored & proud to represent Essence.
