Just a couple weeks after the historic hiring of Keija Minor as the editor in chief of Conde Nast’s Brides magazine, the major publishing company has announced another African-American hire in an important leadership role. Elaine Welterorth, a veteran of Glamour magazine, will become Teen Vogue‘s Beauty & Health director this month. Fashionista has more:
