Olay Partners with Ebony Magazine on Commemorative Print Issue

For Black History Month, Olay has partnered with Ebony on a commemorative print issue of the magazine — the first Ebony Magazine to hit stands since 2019. The issue will feature the HBCU x Olay STEM Queens—an initiative dedicated to spotlighting collegiate Black women in STEM poised to affect societal change, alongside women of color in STEM roles at Procter & Gamble. The issue will also include a retrospective on unsung Black female inventors, a piece on the top HBCU STEM programs, an inside look at the Black tech scene in Atlanta, GA, and a letter to the next generation of STEM leaders from Covid-19 vaccine developer, Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett.

“HBCU Queens has always been and will continue to be a cornerstone of the Ebony family. It was our honor to reintroduce the HBCU Queens program for young Black women who are pursuing an education in STEM. With STEM being such an integral part of shaping our current and future world, it is imperative that we create opportunities for our young Black women to be able to excel in that field,” said Michele Ghee, CEO of Ebony and Jet. “Olay – which has done incredible work in STEM—was the perfect partner to bring this program to life. Together we are committed to amplifying these accomplished, beautiful young Black women and they will be featured on our first Ebony cover in over three years. This special commemorative print issue is such a monumental and priceless moment for us and it is only the beginning of this important HBCU franchise.”

The issue will be available on 2/11 at Barnes & Noble stores nationwide, and select HBCU bookstores and newsstands.
