Beauty in Black Resistance

SITTING PRETTY

“Sitting pretty” is just that. three beautiful, successful Black women sitting still and looking pretty.

It’s a celebration of Black joy and beauty at Yale.

I want you to get lost in their hair and fall in love with their curls. I want you to dive deep into the texture of their skin and adore how the flowers frame their faces.

I want you to just sit there, look pretty, and set your work aside to read through this issue.

I loved making this piece. I hope that you can feel the love, too.
