Jamila Robinson is making diversity history at Condé Nast's executive board. Robinson has just been named the new editor-in-chief of the media company's Bon Appétit and Epicurious culinary brands.
Fashion Week Daily reported the news, citing Robinson's impressive 20 years of experience in the media industry. Most recently, she served as the assistant managing editor at The Philadelphia Inquirer, where she spearheaded their diversity, equality, and inclusion efforts since 2020.
Robinson's impressive background and dual passion for writing and cooking made her a natural candidate for the role. She is set to start her reign on September 18th, and it's clear that she is beyond excited about her new role.
In a statement, Robinson said, “I’m thrilled to join Bon Appétit and Epicurious, and their deeply talented and award-winning teams of creatives who invite audiences to the table through recipes, restaurants, and food culture. For me, food is an art form that intersects with every part of life and connects communities. This role is an exciting new chapter in my commitment to building a longer table and showing the world that food culture is for everyone.”
Robinson is replacing Dawn Davis, who is passing the baton to another Black woman to take the platform to greater heights. Anna Wintour, Condé Nast's Chief Content Officer, shared her excitement for Robinson's new role. She commented, “It’s not every day you get to meet an accomplished writer and editor who has led features departments and food organizations, is a competitive figure skater, classically trained violinist, teacher, world traveler, and an absolute star in the kitchen. Jamila is all of these things and more, and I’m thrilled she’s coming to lead Bon Appétit and Epicurious.”
Robinson is making history with her new position, and she is sure to bring an impressive amount of talent and knowledge to the Bon Appétit and Epicurious brands. We can't wait to see what she does with her new role!
