This Black History Month, Graduate Fashion Week Alumni – Tihara Smith is on a mission to share with the world what makes us ‘Black & Beautiful’.
Throughout the month of October, Tihara wants to celebrate what makes those from the black community ‘Black & Beautiful’. Not only because of all the beautiful shades and hair textures but also the culture, achievements and positive contributions on every level, be that big or small. From the obvious successful celebrities, black entrepreneurs, social activists, teachers, authors, journalists, scientists, artists, designers – to the unsung heroes who in their daily lives make a difference to their communities, shifting negative perceptions and stereotypes.
To help drive this activity, Tihara has launched an Instagram campaign, where she will be giving away a ‘Black & Beautiful’ gift set that includes a ‘Black & Beautiful’ pin and postcard set. Entrants simply need to tag someone who embodies what ‘Black & Beautiful’ means to them and explain why.
