Black Women In Fashion: Work Play and Legacy At Macy’s


I recently learned about a wonderful celebration of Black Women in Fashion at Macy’s, featuring an incredible design by my friend, Evetta Petty, the owner of Harlem’s Heaven Hats. This is a magical, meaningful, glamorous, and empowering showcase of women of color’s significant contributions to fashion during Black History Month.

Her fabulous design is on display to help showcase the impactful contributions of Black trailblazing women in the fashion industry.

The window displays feature illustrations by Brooklyn based artist Ashley Buttercup and fashion Madamette X, House of Aama, BruceGlen, Kaphill, Oak & Acorn –Only The Rebelles and High Fashion Thrift, and honor groundbreaking figures who paved the way in fashion despite facing significant challenges.

I was particularly moved by the stories of influential women like Eunice Johnson, who not only broke racial barriers in media and fashion but also worked tirelessly to uplift her community.

Evetta’s hat is dedicated to Mildred Blount, a remarkable milliner famous for her stunning designs, including those for Gone With The Wind.

It’s amazing to think about the legacy of figures like Zelda Wynn Valdes, who was the first Black designer to open a boutique on Broadway, and Ophelia Devore, who was a trailblazing model and one of the first to advocate for diversity in modeling.

Ann Lowe also stands out as a designer who created elegant pieces for some of America’s most notable figures, including Jacqueline Kennedy.

Lastly, Lois K. Alexander Lane made significant contributions to fashion and community advocacy.

It’s a beautiful way to honor their achievements and remember the strength and creativity of Black women in fashion history! If you have a chance, definitely go see these window displays; they’re a true inspiration.

Divabetic returns to Philadlephia with a free diabetes outreach program in partnership with the Frazier Family. Coalition on Saturday, November 8, 2025.

For the past 64 years. Barbie has been a part of our lives, a cultural touchstone, or the quintessential image of what a woman should be but never will be – a sex or beauty object.

Greta Gerwig’s big screen makeover and the related marketing blitz are making us revisit and reevaluate Barbie’s impact on our lives, including our sex lives. After all, if Barbie and Ken are confused about what to do at sleepovers, you might be too, especially if you’re dealing with sexual health issues related to diabetes. Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in nearly all countries. People with diabetes experience sexual dysfunction more often than the general public.
