About the Book
A photographic celebration of black women.
This edition of Elegant Black Ladies, first published in 2015, features a layout that gives more room to the longer portraits that had been cropped in the original square-shaped book.
“While stories of our pain are essential to our identity, pain is not our identity,” Lindo, 21, tells Okayafrica. “The world may attack black women, but still we remain smiling, laughing, and carefree because we are stronger than any forces against us. Images of the Carefree Black Girl say ‘I am here and I am thriving no matter what you throw at me.’”
