The creation of social media sites has allowed anyone to weigh in on the day’s most pressing news, trends and cultural issues. However, the Twitterverse seems to pay closer attention when journalists chime in, deeming these comments more noteworthy than the usual rants and trending topic onslaughts. Many turn to magazine editors and writers alike for a unique perspective on current events, advice and personal mantras. BlackEnterprise.com follows many of these thought leaders and media mavericks, and we suggest you press follow, too. –Janel Martinez
