Not to bring us down, but I lost two of my beauty icons—Miss Cicely Tyson and Miss Diahann Carroll—in the last three years. Those women were such role models for me, they taught me to walk through the world and celebrate my beauty. And, they were both flawless to the end. Just gorgeous inside and out. I loved those Black women so dearly.
