She is truly stunning. I had to stop & read the article upon seeing the feature photograph. We definitely need to see more minorities & women of color when depicting beauty.

The pictures are not only beautiful but tell a story. I love the way the photographer captured so many different emotions . Thanks for sharing.

Black women are truly beautiful. Its a pity there is not more feed back on the article. Weather its in support or not. A full day has pass since the article has been published. 1 comment beside this one. Yes the previous comment is absolutely correct a for book with wonderful captions should of be published. With short notes of the model name , year and occasion noted.

Agree. I was a kid in San Francisco during the Black is Beautiful times & remember seeing proud women standing tall. Lovely & enriching cultural record. Thanks for turning us on (a bit of ‘60s slang) to this artist.
