Title

Judges panel, Ideal Black Man beauty pageant

Description

Members of the Black Sistahood take notes and ask questions of contestants at the Ideal Black Man beauty pageant, held in October 2018. The event challenged the stereotypes of Black men, allowing for contestants to see the men's whole selves as they discussed their majors, skills, styles and personalities. Judges include Yasmin Abdullahi (second from left), Hanan Shiferaw (third from left), and Kiki Kill (fourth from left).

The Black SistaHood was a student-founded organization established in 2018 and was active until 2020. Its membership was comprised of women and men and its mission was to break down stereotypes of Black people by hosting events to highlight the complexities and history of Black people and culture.
