What does luxury mean to you? By definition, the word means a state of great comfort or elegance, especially when involving great expense.
However the world chooses to define luxury – be it through designer items that can be paid for at the drop of a hat or through island hopping to destinations that many could only dream of – luxury isn’t something that is often associated with Black women due to the many social and systematic things that hinder us from being comfortable or presented as elegant – until most recently.
In a social media age, where excess is everything and the quality of your life is often determined by the strategic placement of the photos you share, we are seeing a lot more Black women embracing luxury in all of its glory, from designer clothes to the exotic vacations that have found its way on everyone’s mood board.
