Here’s a lovely shot that I took of my boyfriend☺️
In <3 with the work of Nadine Ijewere, Jamaican Nigerian British artist who photographs mixed race and mixed culture women in London. “My work aims to celebrate multiculturalism and give a different take on beauty and its ideals,” she said In an interview with i-D. “I really want to give a platform and space for others cultures, to celebrate how diverse and different we are.”

#JourdanDunn is a #British supermodel. She was discovered in 2006 & began appearing on international runways in 2007. In February 2008, she was the first #Black model to walk a #Prada runway in over a decade since #NaomiCampbell. She was also the first #BlackBritish model to make the Forbes Models Rich List in 2014 & was declared an Icon by models.com. Shes won several Model of the Year & Women of the Year awards in fashion. Shes considered to be one of the #millennial generation’s supermodels.
She was born in London. Shes of #Jamaican #Grenadian & #SyrianLebanese descent. She was self conscious as a teen, due to her height & weight. Growing up, people would tell her she could be a model, but she was apprehensive. She said shows like #ANTM intrigued her, as they gave her a new perspective of the job.
Now Gen Z models can look up to her for guidance; from speaking up about racism & discrimination in the fashion industry & having a successful career after giving birth at 18, which is taboo in high fashion. “Having a son made me realise I have to make shit work: Im his voice, Im his lifeline, I have to be driven. He pushed me in the right direction. Ive always been ambitious, but now I have more focus. I’m more hardworking.”
Being discovered at age 15, she grew up fast. She was a fashion star but she was very articulate, observant & very smart as a teen & still is. When she was 18, her comments about race made headlines & have been ever since. At London Fashion Week she said: “London’s not a White city. So why should our catwalks be so White?” Critics fired back with the industry having to bow to customer demands - which is White, thin & blonde. “Seeing Naomi & Tyra when I was growing up made me believe I could be a model. I cant think of other names who could have inspired teenage black girls. I dont see a change. It needs to be said because I think about these things & other girls do too.”
She wants to establish a #multiracial modeling agency. “When I go back to school, Im studying business. I’d do an agency for Black girls; & Asian & Latinx, because there aren’t enough of them on the runway either.” #mixedgirl #whm #womenshistorymonth

Grace Jones.
That’s all that really needs to be said. This legendary model, singer, actress or simply “artist,” as she describes herself, has broken barriers on what the very term eccentric means. Before Gaga there was Madonna, but before Madonna or anyone else there was Grace. She is a legend and to read more about her check on Afrobella.com here.
