The July 2021 issue of Activator Magazine is a Black Artists Matter issue. The cover features an in-color print of a portrait of Endalyn Taylor by Patrick Earl Hammie. It is a Black woman viewed straight on. She has short, dark hair and looks out at the viewer. The background is purple and white, and there is purple reflected on her face. The magazine is propped up in some grass and leaves.
