The ideal black beauty
On the question of what is ideal beauty (which has been covered on a few occasions in NAW) I personally don’t think there exists such thing as an ideal African or beauty. Beauty is a lot of things to different people: it’s that enormous one-cheeked dimple when you smile, it’s that hearty laughter that seems to brighten up the dullest room, it’s that posture that portrays so much confidence when you want to shrivel from nervousness, it’s the way you work that outfit and make it look like it you just got it off some fashion week, when in retrospect you probably got from a flee market. Beauty is you; beauty is me, beauty is all of us in our own special way.
