It was the 1920s. She was bold, brave, and took France by storm! Josephine Baker rebuked life under the oppression of America's treatment of African-Americans, ran to find her freedom and happiness in a very welcoming country, that was not only free of racial segregation, but also allowed for a 'sensual' freedom that Josephine embraced. Hers was a star that reached heights she worked hard for, pushed on against odds to achieve a life she chose of her own volition, and a statement to what one can do if they set their mind to it, continue to think positive, go for it, and have no regrets. She was a figure of resistance, support, and gentility. This beautiful, melanin burlesque star and French singer is today's topic on EMarie diaries - I'm EMarie, are you ready? Let's go!
