Bethann Hardison Instagram – BAM !!!!
This is a pure example of how to switch it up. Who saw this coming ???
Vogue…for the most important issue of the year for fashion magazines is September…the choice to use the image of art representing a black female on two different covers is the ultimate “switch up”.
I LOVE IT !!!
Kerry James Marshall and Jordan Casteel @jordanmcasteel were both given complete freedom to decide who would be on their covers, a real or imaginary person, and how that person would be portrayed.
Well Jordan Casteel chose my dear
“daughter” Aurora James @aurorajames founder of Brother Vellies @brothervellies, who created her recent campaign in June @15percentpledge that supports Black-owned businesses.
This is so “next level” because Aurora means a lot to me and now to the greater community…a true renaissance woman. Proud I am of Aurora beyond this cover, yet, yes I am, how elegant for an elegant spirit.
I was so happily surprise by the cover I had to ask her “is this real”. ?
How proud she must be to be recognized and honored in this way.
Her image and the painting of Kerry James Marshall (so loved is he) are so elevated. I thank Anna Wintour @theannawintour and @voguemagazine for having this vision addressing our current consciousness.
I am happy for the movement having a positive effect in this way. Recognition and cooperation to adjust immediate concerns is ultimate. | Posted on 26/Aug/2020 14:42:01
