The Legends...A Tribute to Classic African Beauties..

I wanted to use this opportunity to highlight and celebrate classic, legendary African beauties that have paved the way for many more to come. I am so grateful to all these women and what they have accomplished. The list is in no particular order, very random and below their names are their countries of origin. And if there are any individuals that should be added, please let me know and I will update the list.

Enjoy!
