Cipriana Quann, ex-writer for Vogue magazine and commonly known as the "Quann Sisters" along with her identical twin sister, has used her platform to speak on diversity, inclusivity, the power of sisterhood, and surviving over a decade of childhood sexual, physical and mental abuse. Originally from Baltimore, Cipriana was selected by Vogue as one of six brilliant women in New York for their “My Life in Vogue” documentary and editorial spread, shot by iconic photographers Inez and Vinoodh. Dubbed the “voice of her generation” by HBO and “influential millennial” by Gap, the late photographer Bill Cunningham described her as the “greatest hope for our civilization." As co-founder of Urban Bush Babes, a site created to highlight multi-faceted lives of women of color and break beauty standards, Cipriana quickly garnered 450,000 weekly readers in the first year and three years later personally invited to the White House to meet current President, Joe Biden, specifically regarding her contributions of creating change within the fashion/beauty industry for women of color. She has been featured on the cover of numerous fashion magazines like Harper’s Bazaar, named “most interesting people on the internet” by Cosmo, spoken at TEDx, and worked with major brands — while also courageously speaking out about her childhood trauma, addiction as a result, the power of her twin connection to survive, and using psychedelics as a healing modality for the past seven years.
