Jasmine Tookes - America
A very innocent crush on model, Jasmine Tookes took me on a quest of the relevance of self love. Our society is often inundated with the fashion industry dictating what's popular, even when it comes to skin tones. Even dolls like us stocked on store shelves, pictures of black models in magazines and fashion runways, or lack thereof, prompt me to rely on myself for I am not some figment of someone's imagination but 'I (we) very much exist!'
This '22 Of The Latest Black Models' post became not just a mere reminder that we do exist but a testament that BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL! Span the globe, our beauty is varied, sultry and striking.
A realization to envelop being effervescent, like this quote states, "Every day is a fashion show and the world is your runway!" It means stepping up for the show (even if that may that be life!). Putting your best foot forward. A reminder to be light hearted and playful. A kismet to shed insecurities and portray our black is beautiful.
Most importantly, working on this post makes me aware of and encourages me to support the companies who see our dynamic black beauty.
