Whitney Houston highlights Ebony's March women's issue

Jet, Feb 16, 2004

The March issue of EBONY celebrates the Black woman, sex and the power she exudes in its annual women's issue.

Its cover story focuses on superstar Whitney Houston, whose self-titled debut album made headlines 19 years ago when it sold more than 22 million records. Now the multi-Grammy winner is still the topic of discussion, not for her latest record sales, but for the controversy that continues to surround her personal life.

Her 10-year marriage to singer Bobby Brown has been plagued with drama almost from the very beginning. Frequent court house appearances, admitted drug use and a recent 911 disturbance call to the couple's Atlanta home are just a few of the troubles Houston has had to endure.

The March issue offers advice and encouragement to the superstar from relationship experts, religious leaders and more in the cover story "Money, Fame, Power & A Runaway Marriage: Can Whitney Turn It Around?"

Cathy Hughes, founder and chairperson of Radio One Inc., and Pamela Thomas-Graham, president and CEO of CNBC, are just a couple of women setting new standards and redefining the culture of corporate America. Find out more about these women and their boardroom Sisters in "15 At The Top In Corporate America."

Chief Ella M. Bully-Cummings is Detroit's first appointed chief of police in the department's 138-year history. The top cop discusses her climb up the ranks and her future goals for the motor city in the inspiring story "Hail To The Chief."
