Ladies First: Donyale was the first black super model to appear on the cover of Vogue Magazine. She appeared on the British issued magazine in 1966.
Impact: Although; she passed too soon, she left behind a industry that became more welcoming and accepting to black female models. She set a standard for all Black Female Models especially those who grace the cover of Vogue and the many black women to come. She is a black girl that rocks!
Happy Black History Month!
