Carefree Black Girls

Cultivated online and driven by social media, it's one telling piece of a much wider development of inspiration assembled by and for black women.

"[5] Hillary Crosley Coker, a reporter for Jezebel provides specific examples of notable black women embodying the concept.

She claims that, "ladies like Chiara de Blasio (with her hippie flower headband), Solange [Knowles] and her eclectic style and Janelle Monae's futurism are their patron saints".
