Naomi Sims Dead

[Nylah]

<span style="font-weight: bold">I have old Time Magazines from the 1960's with her on the front cover. Really liked her persona and gracefulness</span>

One of the world’s first Black supermodels, Mississippi-born beauty Naomi Sims, passed away August 3, 2009, after a bout with cancer. She was 61. Sims personified the term “Black is beautiful,” while breaking racial barriers both on the runway and as businesswoman.
