All the girls I’ve been following for years on Tumblr really are the ones who have been pushing the culture forward. People still use screen caps Sharifa (@afirahs) would make from shows like Martin and a Different World from like years ago. Same with all the music videos her and Bri (@brimalandro) posted. Bri and Selina (@surra-de-bunda) both use to scan so much content from old mainly music magazines. I see them pop up all over IG. Zaina (@larrydavid420) has been on every major pop diva’s mood board. Random stylist have been eating from her aesthetics forever now.  All of Raevin’s (@sheabutterbitch) Tumblr text posts get stolen regularly by the love and light girls on Twitter. As black women in fashion we don’t get as much recognition as we should even though our culture is the one that has everyone’s attention.

Debbie Allen photographed by Anthony Barboza (1983). Allen was first introduced as Lydia Grant in the film Fame (1980). Although her role in the film was relatively small, Lydia became a central figure in the television adaptation, which ran from 1982 to 1987. During the opening montage of each episode, Grant told her students: “You’ve got big dreams? You want fame? Well, fame costs. And right here is where you start paying … in sweat.” Allen was nominated for the Emmy Award for Best Actress four times during the show’s run. She is the only actress to have appeared in all three screen incarnations of Fame, playing Lydia Grant in both the 1980 film and 1982 television series and playing the school principal in the 2009 remake. Allen was also lead choreographer for the film and television series, winning two Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography and one Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Television Series Musical or Comedy. She became the first Black woman to win a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Series—Musical or Comedy.
