In it, Waters, fondly known as Auntie Maxine, discusses her career, being her authentic self, how to run for political office, and how she “wants to be remembered as a courageous fighter.” 

“One of the things I discovered a long time ago was that I make people uncomfortable and that my advocacy goes beyond what politicians normally do, Waters told ESSENCE. “I have a strong sense of what’s fair and what’s not fair, and for vulnerable people who are being taken advantage of, or who are being bullied or intimidated, I tend to want to be protective or to fight for them,” she added. 

Essence’s December 2017/January 2018 issue also includes actor Kofi Siriboe, U.S. Open Champion Sloane Stephens, sports commentator Jemele Hill, actor/writer extraordinaire Issa Rae and more.
