I know that I am late, but I just wanted to send condolences to the family & friends of Naomi Sims, the 1st black supermodel.What this woman did in the 60's changed the fashion industry & made it possible for Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell, & all of the other black models past & present.
In addition to her modeling success, she was also a businesswoman who created a wig line in 1976 & cosmetics line in 1986. She tried to help African-American women with advice about beauty, health and career by writing several books.
She was a great example of fighting for what you believe in and making the moves necessary for change. She will be greatly missed.
R.I.P. Naomi Ruth Sims (March 30, 1948 - August 1, 2009)
