BLACK IS KING:
BROWN SKIN GIRL
What a celebration of blackness these past few days have been...there’s something about seeing us all in our radiant brown skin taking up space. Something about seeing my long ass Yoruba name in the credits, amongst other long ass names of people I’ve looked up to for some time. Something about seeing all the contributions of many talented Black creatives. Something so special about the experience as a whole that I’ll eventually find the words for, but for now...I am just eternally grateful for this opportunity. @jennnkiru@ivanmichaelblackstock@robiamilliner thank you, forever inspired by your visions & artistry.
Big love to the makeup, hair & costume teams too (came strong with the most loving words/affirmations and the softest hands)
I LOVE US.
