LENA HARDY
Editor in Chief
To keep it simple, I am a legend and an expert on all things communications. From 8-to-5, I work as the Communications and Media Specialist for my local government and as the suns goes down, I'm constantly finding ways to explore my creativity. Hence, the creation of this digital publication. Our mission is to highlight and amplify Black voices and ensure that all of our readers believe they are legendary. If you want to know more about me, invite me for pancakes with warm syrup and you'll learn the rest. All Black Lives Matter.

BRITTNEY BONNER
Creative Director
My name is Brittney Bonner. I hate talking about myself so this is awkward, but I’m 26 years old. Jay Z’s “Reasonable Doubt” album is the best and I love sushi. I have a brand called The Black Label. It’s cool and arrest Breonna Taylor’s murderers.
ZOE RUDDOCK
Beauty Editor
Hi! I’m Zoe, the Beauty Editor of Legends Magazine. I got into all things beauty about 10 years ago and haven’t looked back since. Along with my Beauty Editor title I am a beauty influencer, digital content creator, designer and founder of the minimal streetwear brand RUDD. The Label.
Joining Legends Magazine became another venture I was thrilled to take on. We are a small but mighty team made up of incredible women here to bring you some amazing content! What you will see from me is articles about seasonal beauty essentials, tips & tricks, mini reviews, pictorials, and more. So be sure to look out for my Beauty Report!
LAQUOYA ROBINSON
Lead Graphic Designer
I'm LaQuoya or "Q", a constantly-evolving graphic designer, art director, and all around marketing/advertising nerd. I aim to evoke visual stories that will seamlessly fuse a brand and its customer together. During my professional career I've strategized and designed exciting and thought-provoking campaigns while also acquiring numerous awards in graphic design for direct mail campaigns. I truly love creating. God has truly blessed me with a gift and I intend to use it to bless others starting their business and growing their brand...there's room for everyone at the table; especially my melanin brothers and sisters. However, I was once asked if I could do anything else besides advertising design and I couldn't think of anything...wait, I got it...a food critic because food is LIFE, am I right? Not really, I wouldn't be me who I am without creativity and design.
