#tbt My 2nd #international #modeling ad 👳😏 This was a #political #campaign in November through an organization in #Columbia spreading word, #educating, and #takingastand against the #brutalization & #murder of #women there.😔This is my most meaningful #publishedwork thus far as an #artist & #model I've said it before & say it again; modeling isn't just about looking pretty; it's also like literature & acting in the sense of conveying an #image + telling a story. I had already done this dual photog shoot unconnected 2 this recent group & yrs prior 2 it's current circulation. The image was sold by #photographer #JimJurica 2 #istock & purchased 4 that use. I'm honored & pleased 2 have been selected 4 something as relevant & real as this. I'm also stoked that they connected w/h the #emotion I was trying 2 convey; a beautiful woman indeed but she's wounded and fragile. ::fist pump:: 👊 #solidarity #lifeispolitical #revolutionthroughart #artispolitical #notjustaprettyface #therevolutionwillbevisualized #ShalondraRae #humanrights

When #LaurynHill came out w/h #TheMiseducationOfLaurynHill I wore a #headwrap & #turban on my head 4 nearly a month! I was so & remain still inspired by her... I also had a profound inspiration when Miss #ErykahBadu #dropped #Baduizm! I had already been #wrappingmyhair prior 2 discovering them but there's just so much appeal in #BlackQueens who choose 2 embrace that type of #culturalbeauty ....at least I think so. ☺️👳 And regardless of our experience; #blackisbeautiful & always will be! These lovely traditions learned like 2nd nature running through our brown bloodlines, many of which hailing from #Africa still posess infinite value. Our beauty is deeper then which of us can twerk the best or the fine quality of purchased hair we wear....and forreals that statement isn't derived from shade ya'll (after sum dranks I been know 2 twerk & I still rock fake hair 2) lol I'm just sharing a deeper level of appreciation 4 my fellow #brownskinlady ! I'll wear my hair wrapped 2 the club or a corporate job, beaming w/h pride either way. #ilovebeingblack #myblackisbeautiful And I'm 4 ever honored. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL #pickbackupyourcrown ☺️👑💓
