Ever since @mindofkye_ showed off her stunning handmade prom dress last year celebrating her Ethiopian heritage, it's great to see more young ladies this year stunning us with #AfricanProm fashion and showing there is not just one standard of beauty and this is not too tacky for prom like what her teacher told her.✊💕😻💃 ------ #Repost @_blazemoney: Thank you to everyone who gave me kind words on my prom dress. My date doesn't have social media so he's kinda nonchalant lol. The dress came after seeing the beautiful @jessnnecee wearing one similar to a ball. After discussing how beautiful it was and that I would do a african theme with a ) teacher I was told it wasn't really "something you wear to prom" Hellbent on proving them wrong and being someone who loves our culture and African glamorous style , me and @indelible_dc decided to take the Ankara dress and put a twist on it. Little did I know it came out more beautiful, then I could've ever imagine!! My dress was to make a point. That African style is beautiful. That I am comfortable with my Melanin and roots. And finally that there's nothing like Black girl Magic❤️
