The Image That Inspired the Music

A Movement. A Vision. A Legacy.

Photographer Kwame Brathwaite created the Grandassa Models series during the Black Is Beautiful movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

His images captured a new vision of Black beauty—dignified, confident, and unapologetically ourselves.

About Black Is Beautiful Experience

A multi-artist, multi-disciplinary project rooted in image, sound and history.

Black Is Beautiful Experience is a creative initiative developed through Rhymshot in collaboration with the Kwame Brathwaite Archive.

Through music, film, exhibitions, and education, the project reimagines the Black Is Beautiful movement for a new generation.
