February is Black History Month and throughout this month we have been sharing topics in order to share, educate and embrace figures from history who may not have gotten the recognition they deserved due to their skin colour. We have discussed iconic black figures who brought about significant change, vintage black celebrities who were iconic and influential and last week, we covered some vintage black pinups and burlesque artists that you should know. In our final instalment of this mini series (don’t worry, we will be back next year with more topics as well as a few surprises throughout the year), we are covering some modern day black pinups that you should know. This series is a conscious effort on my part to use my platform to share, embrace and inform others of amazing black figures both past and present. I don’t think anyone needs ‘saving’, especially not from someone like me, but I do want to show love and support to all within the vintage and pinup community regardless of their skin colour.
