Black model for Dhymon House

reminds me some of the feeling in the early 1970's. There was a tremendous amount of pride in Black folks' hearts when a Black model showed up in a magazine, any magazine. It was so rare. When Black pride expanded, and major corporations did the math the game of fashion changed out of fear, and profit margins.

Pat Evans, one of the pioneers in fashion went even further when she went bald, and conveyed the strength of the power of her being. The dynamics of Black Women's beauty were re-examined.

I am reminded of this within this model for the House of Dhymon, and a part of me wonders how much of her history and the legacy we left young Blacks are they aware of? If it is a little, or none at all it is our fault to a larger degree, but as an adult Black Americans need to invest in knowing more about themselves than educated, and thoughtful white Americans do.” – Gregory E.
