ATLANTA - s4story -- SHEEN Magazine, the leading media platform celebrating beauty, fashion, and all things entertainment, is officially 20 years old!  That's right, we've been out here killing it since 2006, and now, it's time to party!  We're throwing not just a celebration but a 2-day experience that will set the vibe for future anniversary events. Mark your calendars: the fun starts with our Cover Reveal/Kick-off Party on Wednesday, September 16, at Cirque Daiquiri Bar & Grill, 2160 Monroe Drive NE, Atlanta, GA (Buckhead). Then, the real magic happens on September 17, 2026, at the iconic Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta. Glamour? Check. Inspiration? Absolutely. Must-attend event of the year? Without a doubt.

Let's take it back for a second: since 2006, SHEEN Magazine has been a trailblazer, breaking norms, lifting voices, and reshaping the narrative. Our focus has always been on positivity, creativity, and excellence, because we don't do "average." This 20th-anniversary event will honor that legacy while taking things to a whole new level.

The hosts for the night? None other than Atlanta's own Rapper/Reality Star/Radio Personality Young Joc (yes, he's doing double-duty) and the hilariously funny "Original Bad Girl of Comedy" Comedian/Actress Luenell.  Translation: you're in for a night of laughs, and maybe even a little roasting, because why not?  They're bringing their signature charm, humor, and a little edge to the stage, and you'll love every second.
