Happy Black History Month!

Instead of troubling you with the same lecture about Harriet Tubman that we've all heard since 4th grade, I've decided to talk about black females in fashion. Being a black female myself there is a lot of controversy dealing with the lack of black models on runways. Lately

I've been seeing a change, more black girls on the runways, but there is still a lack of black female model icons. Maybe because they're like a diamond in the rough? We're only blessed with such a gift every once in a

while.

These are my favorites, Let me know of yours.
