The simplest way to describe a beautiful, black woman is that she is a complex and intricate being. As a black man, I find an array of black women beautiful. She could be lightskinned, darkskinned, slim, curvy, tall, short, have straight or curly hair, and it does not matter; she is beautiful regardless.

While there are the petty arguments on complexion, and natural hair versus relaxed, but when it boils down, every black woman is beautiful in her own way.

My mom always said, “If she can’t use your comb, don’t bring her home,” but to me that wasn’t an issue. I’ve always been astounded by the beauty of our Nubian queens. Looking past their physical features, black women are also strong and independent, yet delicate.
