In celebration of Women’s History Month this March, what women do you admire?
Crissy Kendall, New York
Phylicia Rashad. She’s always represented style, class, and grace. Her beauty and presence commands respect. Definitely one of my most favorite Black women that I’ve admired from childhood.
Carla Huckaby, Tucson, Ariz.
Bessie Coleman. I would love to see a film made about her—a brilliant woman.
Anthony Rodgers, New York
The legendary Miss Marla Gibbs. She’s a trailblazer and an icon.
Anita Spencer, Jacksonville, Fla.
I love Madam Walker. In fact, my grandmother used her products as a hairstylist.
Denise C., Washington, D.C.
Since I love books so much, I want to highlight my favorite author — Kimberla Lawson Roby!
