Vintage Black Glamour’s Nichelle Gainer sits down with me to discuss THE forever beauty icon, Josephine Baker. We discuss her life as a Black American in Paris, friendships with artists and intellectuals, affairs, films, work as a beauty influencer (before the word “influencer” was even a real word), speech at the March on Washington, and so much more. As we kick off the first week of Black History Month, tune in to celebrate an icon who reminds us all that Black history is truly American history.
