Spent six years penning sex and relationship columns for Ebony magazine. Loved the salacious stories from everyday folks and the solid advice from the nation's top relationship therapists and psychologists. These columns-- and my unusual office experience--set the groundwork for my memoir, Living The Ebony Life: E-Mails From The Plantation.

Living The Ebony Life: E-Mails From The Plantation
In Living The Ebony Life: E-Mails From The Plantation, Ebony magazine alum Zondra Hughes delivers a hilarious narrative-backed by authentic e-mails, memos, and grainy 'surveillance' photos-of the outrageous office politics that ultimately derailed the No. 1 Black Magazine in the world. The author scores with a disarming, 'tell-it-like-it-was' perspective of her days inside the Ebony editorial department-AKA The Plantation-and makes the case that new media didn't slay Ebony magazine; bad management did.
