    Very inspirational article, would love to see these women in programming that allows women to age gracefully. May they continue to stay healthy and strong, and pray that we learn to respect and honor women not just for physical beauty but to encourage their inner beauty as well. Also, Jennifer Lewis, Afre Woodard, Tina Turner, Chaka Khan, Evelyn Braxton, Grace Jones, Tina Knowles, Patti Labelle and the list goes on…

    Angela Bassett is gorgeous!!! Love, love, love her beautiful, flawless skin and her cheekbones are a genetic gift. KeKe Palmer looks like a younger version of her.

      I do not know what is up with those women. It seems almost like they age a day for every decade. I don’t know how they do it. I know black don’t crack but they’re abusing the privilege. Beautiful.

    Where are the 9 to 5 ladies, cooking and cleaning everyday and everynight, plus taking care of a family with a stressful job. Their job is to look like this, it’s their job with the help of makeup artists, stylists, doctors, etc. etc. etc.

    • Veratta Pegram-Floyd

  • J A SASSY aka salon22w

    Black dont crack and most black women dont have all that plastic surgery botoz crap… whitw women not so sure.. they age awful and all that money they spend on surgery and still look old.. Angela Bassett looks better than most young white women.. and has lots of class..

    I love seeing our Sisters age gracefully. If you have to age why not be the absolute best you can be!? I know I’m still going to be a dimepiece because I’m doing what I have to do now!!

    I love Maya Angelou and I woud include her on a lot of lists, but she does not automatically come to mind for this one.

    • cleojones
