The Black Betty Boop!

photo submission featured in our upcoming GIRLS issue

submitted by Elizabeth Oluokun

This shoot is my interpretation of "Betty Boop" A character based on the uniqueness of black jazz performers in the 20s made popular by her scatting and looks. In addition to her origins, Betty Boop herself was a symbol for women everywhere to be unapologetically sexy, bold, and outspoken in every situation.
