Here’s a big moment in #BlackGirlMagic! This 29-year-old is set to become the new editor of Teen Vogue!

Elaine Welteroth will take over the helm of the publication as its founding editor, Amy Astley heads over to Architectural Digest, another publication under the Conde Nast umbrella. She made history back in 2012 as this first black beauty and health director, her previous role at the magazine. She has also been in beauty/style editor roles at Glamour and Ebony.

Welteroth is set to be the youngest editor-in-chief in Conde Nast history, and only the second black person to hold the position in the company’s 107-year history.

Welteroth is part of a trio tapped to lead the magazine, including Marie Suter as creative director and Phillip Picardi as digital director. They have been endorsed by Anna Wintour, who said, “This team has thoroughly embraced the endless potential of social media and new platforms, and their understanding of the most effective way to use them to connect with audiences, embodies what it means to be an editor today.”

Congrats Elaine and we are so excited to see you rock in this new position!
