YSB, an acronym for Young Sisters and Brothers, was an African American monthly lifestyle magazine, in print publication from 1991 until 1996.
[3][1][4] It was the first national African American lifestyle magazine specifically for teenagers age 13 to 19.
[9] The magazine offered news stories on music, fashion, as well as then-current issues facing teens including substance abuse and HIV/AIDS.
[12][13] Contributors to the magazine included Kenji Jasper (journalist),[14] Jelani Cobb (journalist),[15] Frank Dexter Brown (editor),[16] Fo Wilson (also known as Folayemi Wilson; creative director),[17] and Lance Pettiford (creative director).
[18] Shortly before the last issue in October 1996, BET and Microsoft joined efforts to publish the print magazine online, and at the time only 11% of African American households had access to the internet at home (compared to 29% of white households at this same time).
