Black Is Beautiful: Kwame Brathwaite
The Emergence of Black Culture and Identity; his work helped advance one of the most influential cultural movements of the 1960s,“Black Is Beautiful,” when black people turned to natural hairstyles and African-inspired clothing.-DIA
“Ideally, I want to see all beauties, all shapes, all sizes, all skin tones, all backgrounds represented in my profession. Now that I am blessed to be that reflection I was once looking for, I’m making a promise to speak out for that little girl that I used to be. I might not have the power to change what media puts out there, or to single-handedly convince young girls like me that they should love themselves. But what I can do is start with me: living each day, embracing who I am.” - Danielle Brooks
