Dear Black Queens, CORE Magazine is here to tell you how brilliant, bold, and beautiful you are. The black woman has always embodied royalty, strength, and leadership. Need I remind you that the unyielding spirit that shattered the chains of slavery and guided us into freedom was led by a black woman? Mrs. Harriet Tubman, an iconic figure of her time, selflessly led men, women, and children out of slavery in the early 19th century.
