We are still loudly celebrating Black History Month, and there are so many Black plus size influencers who have paved the way in the fashion industry. They deserve their flowers! These beautiful, stylish women have fought to diversify in an industry that has left Black women in the cold. However, they persevered and have done so with style and grace. All these influencers are 40+ years old, fine as heck, and have impeccable style.
We know the rule to never ask a woman her age but trust that all these Black influences are 40 and over. They use their platforms to support, encourage, and revolutionize the fashion industry!
