5-Yr-Old Plays Dress-Up To Learn About Iconic Black Women During BHM
Posted February 28, 2017
In honor of February being Black History Month, one mom went above and beyond to teach her 5-year-old daughter about the importance of black women throughout history in very a unique way. Cristi Smith-Jones dressed up her daughter Lola, each day this month, to recreate photos of iconic black women.
Smith-Jones posted the photos to her twitter account, @MsKittiFatale. Check out their project below.
