Me and Le Reyna have talked about the People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive covers for years.
We started to notice a pattern. Every year, the magazine nominated a white actor, athlete or
person in the news as the Sexiest Man Alive. Even some white actors were nominated twice.
Since 1985, People Magazine would do these honorary covers to spotlight that person’s
accomplishments.
The first person to grace The Sexiest Man Alive cover was Mel Gibson. And since then it’s
been nonstop white actors. The first Black actor to be called the Most Sexiest Man Alive
was Denzel Washington back in 1996.
It took a long ass time before people started to notice something was wrong here.
When Black Lives Matter started picking up steam, a woman of color started to see something
wrong. She started a campaign to denounce People Magazine. Shamika Sanders said that it
would be nice to see change at that magazine.
The magazine heard the concerns and feared a Black boycott.
In 2016, the first time ever Dwayne “The Rock “ Johnson became the first person of color
in over 20 years to grace the cover. The former WWE wrestler, actor and media mogul broke
ground after 20 years of mostly white entertainers and athletes gracing that damn cover as
the Most Sexiest Man Alive.
Since 2017 the magazine had placed three other men on the cover.

| People Magazine nominated Michael B. Jordan as their Most Sexiest Man Alive. |
So it was Idris Elba, John Legend and now the latest Black actor to grace the cover.
People Magazine is starting to do something good for once. The magazine names
the Sexiest Man Alive to Michael B. Jordan.
On Jimmy Kimmel LIve the actor dressed up in a yellow hazmat suit and was being
quizzed by random viewers about who would be under the suit.
“It’s a cool feeling,” Jordan said to People Magazine. “You know, everybody always
made that joke, like, ‘Mike, this is the one thing you’re probably not going to get.’ But it’s a
good club to be a part of.”
The entertainer’s production company Outlier Society Productions was the first to adopt
an inclusion rider, which mandates that filmmakers enlist a diverse cast and crew. Jordan also
made it clear he’s supportive of the plight of African Americans.
He has been a vocal voice in the Black Lives Matter movement and encouraging Americans to vote this election year.
The actor who was born in Newark, New Jersey was raised by his parents, Donna and Michael A. Jordan grew up with his two siblings. He credits them as the grounding force to helping him achieve his success.
Jordan who had movie roles in Creed, Black Panther, Red Tails and Just Mercy. He also had television roles on Friday Night Lights, Parenthood and All My Children.
Michael Bakari Jackson, 33 is a spiritual man who devoted his life to service and family.
He purchased a home out in Sherman Oaks and has his family living with him.
He is a huge fan of Naruto: Shippuden and the Dragon Ball franchise.
