a poignant moment to reflect.





Jeans worn by an elegant African woman is a different feel. What makes the difference is culture. What culture says to the African American community isn't a foreign language, it is a submerged memory speaking to the presence of our Ancestors. - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories 10/14/17

celebrating natural beauty and femininity.


Overwhelming this woman is. To the uninformed and the shy...


"Thick Black women have a power over charm that isn't about being better because they are better. Under played in the fashion industry, the national press and the perceptions about women preferred by paranoid white women obsessed with weight; Black women find themselves the envy of the slight, the bound and those held captive by other people's opinions.

In short, in some kind of way there is a freedom of theirs that is the envy of other women..."


- Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories
