Your voice and the way you hold these ppl up instead of tearing them down keeps me coming back to your channel. And the calming music.

Good Evening. Her job is not to tear forgotten celebrities down, but to make one aware of them, and tell their stories.

​@reginaldjackson4176 she had salient point! One does not exclude the other. The creator obviously has that choice & chooses how she discloses & discusses her subjects.

@@TheLoveweaver thanks for your input on my opinion. Couldn't have done it without you.

[@TheLoveweaver]

@cindigoodridge6847 I don't know what you understood or not from my comment because your response doesn't sound as if it was favorable. All, I did was to reply to the gentleman, that just because she was discussing these celebrities, did not make it a forgone conclusion that she'd be as gracious & as classy as she she has chosen to be in her delivery of their stories. I was agreeing with you but I guess you didn't need nor want me to? Sorry about that. My bad. I didn't know I had to clear my response with you, and it was in bad form to agree with you. *sigh*

I’m sorry that I’ve never heard of Mrs. Helen . She was very beautiful and refined. May she RIP🙏🏽🙏🏽🌹❤️❤️

[@rmsbrooks5606]

I had never heard of her, and never saw such classic natural beauty. Even as a child of the 60's I would recognize Black actors and celebrities, Ms. Helen Williams had that it when you look at her you knew that she had to be in the world of fashion. Thank you for your channel, as when I was growing up Black accomplishments were not readily taught in schools as it should have been and thru this channel, I'm learning more about the struggle past what I was able to see on that old black and white tv

Karine, could you do a segment on Anna Brown. She was a black opera singer. The first Black person to go to Juilliard Performance Art School in New York at the age of 16 years old in 1933. Thank you.❤

[@cinnamongirlinterrupted]

Are you sure she was the first? Because I think the piano prodigy Hazel Scott attended Juilliard even earlier than that

[@Weeeewriter]

Helen was absolutely stunning. Her bone structure was unique and elegant. 💛

[@voceval1]

I remember Helen like a glorious goddess gracing the covers of Ebony, Tan, Jet, and all the other POC magazines. Back then, there was no need to be in white publications because the community had their own glossy magazines with great stories, articles, and advertisements. And it was always exciting to pick up a weekly or monthly edition and see Helen on the cover or inside just gorgeously modeling. But it was her own community who forgot, left her behind and sadly erased her as the first International black model. A truly beautiful and elegant woman.

[@JuliaShalomJordan]

Helen was SUCH a beauty! It’s crazy how I’m only learning about her now.🤯 I love how you give these hidden beauties their flowers, Karine. ✨🌸✨ 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@beverlymottley4798]

A excellent review of Helen. She was a beautiful black woman. I'm glad she went to Paris to become famous a nd paid well.

[@julijakeit]

Never heard of her and she's a stunner! The past cannot be changed but at least you can change your present and you are doing a great job in highlighting lives of stars that deserved that.

[@Iflie]

The same with muscicians, in the U.s they had to go in the backdoor of the places they performed at and in europe they were hailed as celebrities and got the full on treatment in fancy hotels. Segregation did and still does so much harm. People need to mingle to know there is no "us and them"

You are probably correct, she was very popular as a model in advertising. A lot of black people bought the Kodak Instamadic camera that she was shown advertising in the picture. I still have the one my mom brought

Will you make a video about model Shelia Johnson? She was very popular in the 80s. Sheila was in the Eddie Murphy movie coming to America. I wonder what happened to her. Thank you.
