The Essence Music Festival is one of the most highly anticipated events, each and every year. It combines the music and styles of both old school and new school artists, and fun vibes that anybody can enjoy. This year is no different and with the festival about to take off, we would like to share that KarenCivil.com is the official correspondent for McDonald’s, covering a variety of cool events including the McDonald’s 365Black Awards this Friday. We’ll also be on site in the Convention Center and at the Superdome highlighting the hottest, biggest and best exclusives, which is what we’re known for. Artists such as Doug E. Fresh, Tyrese, Melanie Fiona, Chaka Khan, and more will be on hand to set the mood right. Stay tuned for more info!
