00:00My name is Rhonda Thompson. I am the creative director at Essence, and we're here today to shoot Janet Jackson for our July-August cover.
00:19We're super excited. You know, I've been a fan since I was a teenager.
00:24But I'm trying to pull it together, and I'm professional. I'm be cool.
00:30We typically have six pages for our cover stories, but not with Ms. Jackson. We're going to blow it out.
00:38No expense has been spared as far as the imagery we want to portray.
00:45We've never really had dancers as part of the shoot. I love the interaction between Janet and the dancers, and really creating these strong images.
00:56With our readers, it's about inspiration. It's about aspiration. With someone like Ms. Janet, someone we have been following for nearly 30 years of her career, of our lives, to celebrate her in this way, it's just spot on perfect.
01:12So, we'll see you next time.
01:14Bye.
