It’s been a long uphill climb for women and an especially burdensome one for black women.  The beaten that we’ve often taken blazing our own trails has left our self-esteem and self-images quite battered and bruised.  Which is why we have celebrated,  and continue to celebrate, those famous black female figures that we do so fiercely.  They taught their generations, and all those that followed, that black was, and always will be, beautiful.

So in honor of National Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating eight great black women in movies, music, modeling, and social movements,  who taught us to love ourselves through their own strength, beauty, and undeniably fabulous styles.

    I know that they can’t list all of the black beautiful women, but I would have love to see Dianne Caroll, Lola Falana, Naomi Sims, Denise Nichols, and Jill Scott’s names included.

    Grace Jones and your cheekbones! Wow.
    No Whitney Houston though?
    A lot of young black girls looked up to her and her beauty.

    I hope they make a movie about the interesting life of Eartha Kitt, Eva Pigford would be perfect for the role.
