UPTOWN Magazine’s May issue (on newsstands May 10th) features Tony Award winning actress Sanaa Lathan on the cover.
“By the Way, Meet Sanaa Lathan” offers a candid interview with the actress who discusses her return to Broadway later this month after a starring role on the London stage, how she deals the challenges of professional rejection and keeps tight lipped about who she may or may not be dating.
Editor-At-Large Star Jones candidly discusses how she reclaimed her life (and her groove) after her divorce four years ago with a combination of travel, pity parties and great friends.
From a travel perspective, Uptown offers looks at lavish relaxing in Barbados, the food and taste of New Orleans, revisiting Jamaica and joining hip Europeans at Jazz Fest in Montreux Switzerland.
“Confessions of a Talented Mind” features Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick on his thoughts about hip-hop, gay marriage and what he’s learned from his wife.
“The celebs featured in this issue cover all aspects of African American influence,” said Brett Wright, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer. “From politicians to musicians to actors, we continue to be the influencers and trendsetters.”
"Travel is my favorite form of continuing education,” said Editor-in-Chief Keija Minor. “This issue highlights the food and cultures around the globe.”
