HUES MAGAZINE

HUESMediarology owners Tali and Ophira Edut founded and published HUES (Hear Us Emerging Sisters) Magazine from 1992-97. HUES was the first-ever national multicultural women's magazine.

It began as a class project during their sophomore year at the University of Michigan. Grants from a few student organizations allowed them to print 1,000 copies of the launch edition. They produced three more local issues, then decided to go national after graduating in 1994. For the next three years, they worked with volunteer writers and editors and published nine national issues with a 25,000-count circulation. Feminist leaders Gloria Steinem and Rebecca Walker joined their advisory board, and the magazine was adopted as course curriculum by many universities around the country.

In 1997, HUES was acquired by New Moon Publishing in Duluth, Minnesota. New Moon accelerated the circulation from quarterly to bimonthly, and published HUES until early 1999. Then, they sold the mailing list and back issues to Utne Reader and folded the magazine.

HUES is just a memory today, be we have yet to see a glossy, colorful magazine that represents such diverse young women in both image, attitude and writing.
