Even after scrolling the length of the page, I couldn't count on one hand how many black faces I actually saw. There are black women that have paved the way in fashion. television, film and in music for not only blacks, but women in general! Our history is in serious jeopardy of being lost. If you don't believe me, test yourself. How many of the beautiful ladies below can you name?
