BOSS: The Black Experience in Business

Editor’s note: This film was made in 2019. On June 30, 2020, Richelieu Dennis, one of many interviewees in Boss, resigned as CEO of Essence magazine following allegations of a toxic work culture. The magazine’s publisher also announced an independent investigation of harassment, discrimination, retaliation and other behaviors that may have impacted Essence magazine employees.
