The New York Times What do you think of when you think of Octavia Spencer? Throughout her career she has played on many black woman tropes; the motherly figure (Coach Carter, Fruitvale Station), the wisecracking black woman (The Help), the stoic civil rights hero (Hidden Figures), the pathetically sexually desperate black woman (Ugly Betty). But in a recent New York Times profile Spencer revealed that none of those are representative in any way of who she really is — a carefree black woman. Spencer is 46 years old, unmarried and her career is white hot. She is one of the few to escape the ‘O ..read more

Over the weekend, this meme began circulating on social media. It pictures a black woman — mid contour — reflecting on her actions. The caption says: “When you’re contouring and highlighting and realize that you’re trying to get more eurocentric features.” Contouring is a makeup technique that defines and reshapes areas of the face using pencils, creams or powders.

I proudly wear makeup and contour on special occasions for an extra glam look, but I’ve never tried to look like anything other than myself. T ..read more

27-year-old Korean graffiti artist Royal Dog is creating stunning murals of black women in the traditional Korean hanbok. https://www.instagram.com/royaldog_/ https://www.instagram.com/royaldog_/ It is not clear whether these murals are designed to represent Afro-Korean women, or if they are simply black women reimagined in traditional Korean attire.

via Elite Daily/ABC As I’m sure you all know, Beyonce performed with the Dixie Chicks at the Country Music Association Awards this week, and many actually persevered through the show to see Queen Bey. Everyone on Twitter waited with bated breath for her to arrive, and her performance of “Daddy Lessons” was pretty damn great. Check it out here: However, it didn’t seem that everyone felt this way – during her performance, many of the people in the audience seemed less than amused, and the social media uproar was apparent, with several country music fans saying that Beyonce was not country eno ..read more

A popular narrative concerning black women is that we don’t support each other and constantly stoke drama for the sake of it. But for many black women, the love and support of girlfriends are what get us through life. That is also true of black women in entertainment, who have the unique privilege and challenge of working in an industry that is notoriously difficult for women of color. While it’s common for celebrities to milk friendships as a source of publicity, these black woman celebs hold each other down both in front of and behind the camera, and we are so inspired by their bonds. 1.
