On Wednesday (Feb. 14), ESSENCE shared the cover of their upcoming March/April 2024 issue with Beyoncé. As explained in the description, the publication’s feature will touch on the legacy of Black hair and the Houston icon’s latest venture. No date was given for when the issue will hit newsstands.

Earlier this month, Beyoncé announced a new hair care line, CÉCRED, after she teased the endeavor back in May 2023. “How many of y’all knew my first job was sweeping hair in my mama’s salon?” she asked her followers in an Instagram post. “Destiny’s Child got our start by performing for clients while they were getting their hair done. I was exposed to so many different kinds of entrepreneurial women in her salon. I saw firsthand how the ways we nurture and celebrate hair can directly impact our souls.”

The message continued, “I watched her heal and be of service to so many women. Having learned so much on my hair journey, I’ve always dreamed of carrying on her legacy. I can’t wait for you to experience what I’ve been creating.” A short trailer for CÉCRED confirmed Feb. 20 as the company’s official launch date.

As REVOLT previously reported, Beyoncé also revealed that RENAISSANCE ACT II will arrive on March 29. In preparation of the long-awaited effort, she shared two singles, “16 CARRIAGES” and “TEXAS HOLD ‘EM,” both of which marked her return to the country genre. Previously, Beyoncé utilized the Southern style for the Lemonade standout “Daddy Lessons.”

RENAISSANCE ACT II will serve as the sequel to 2022’s RENAISSANCE, a 16-song body of work with a wealth of contributions from BEAM, Tems, Mike Dean, Boi-1da, Hit-Boy, Honey Dijon, The-Dream, Tricky Stewart, and more. RENAISSANCE, which boasted cuts like “BREAK MY SOUL” and “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM,” became Beyoncé’s seventh consecutive studio album to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
