Yellow has been my favorite color for most of my life. I got married a month ago and yellow was part of my color scheme for my wedding. And you're right, Black women look great in yellow because my bridesmaids were SERVING 💛💛💛💛

As I read this I thought about having this one signature yellow dress that I would wear for major life events where it was suitable because it made me feel so confident. I just talked about this dress a few days ago, so this confirms that I will replace my yellow dress.

I love this piece! I 1000% agree that I love seeing Black women in yellow too, the way our melanin just compliments it! Wearing yellow always gives “I’m confident. I’m really her!”

I would have to agree with you about wearing yellow. I get compliments all the time when I wear that color. The decor in my new place is boho-beachy and yellow is my pop of brightness.

There’s so much to take in and process in this piece. As I read it, I thought about how I’ve warm yellow in my photo shoots in Cartagena and Puerto Rico and how happy the color makes me feel🫶🏾✨

I absolutely love the poem that you've shared along with this piece. Saved it to my lock screen so I can meditate on it for a while and I need to add the collection to my list of books go read!
