what an inspiration and what a great model! Hope this gets some kind of award.

Terrific photography, outstanding model honoring incredible black women. I enjoyed it so much. Looking up the ones I didn’t know.

Well worth a look.

The series above was from two years ago.

Some talented, thoughtful, and creative people in that family.

Awesome.

The resemblance in each photo...mesmerizing to the viewer.

Thank you JHan!

...overused. This is AWESOME!

Great costume, makeup, photography, and all round vision, not to mention one of the cutest little girls ever.

A female black history montage. So clever.

What an incredible undertaking. Beautiful on every level and so uplifting! Many thanks for posting it.

What a great education for this beautiful little girl, and for us.

Thank you, JHan!

This was an amazing project. So beautifully done and so much work. Bravo!!

Thanks for the great OP.

Thank you for sharing,JHan!

I can already see a very powerful and confident woman in that young child's face.

I hope her is future is as bright as I imagine it to be as I look at these pictures.

She captured the essence of each woman.
Thanks for posting - really quite amazing and beautiful.

WOW WOW and WOW

These pictures are wonderful and worthy of becoming a book!

Anyway you can find to make it into a childrens book.
I would love to see this available in all schools

My cousin was a very middle middle class person who had lost her job and needed direction. She worked with her therapist to get ideas of what abused children needed and how she could support them. She started writing a book, got her daughter to draw lots of pictures of all types of little girls, filled it full of love and support and great advice, took it around and got advice and after re-writes, eventual approval from 4 different child therapists who specialized in abused patients. Her book got published and is now used in schools and by therapists. Most of her sales have been therapists ordering her books for their patients, but churches, schools and individuals are also buying. From this success, she has gone on to publish 4 self-help books for children. She has zero knowledge of the industry, no connections, just a desire to do something positive. I bet a similar approach, maybe going to art schools or Black HIstory Professors, would work to make a book out of these, maybe with the picture upfront, then a chapter about each?? Anyway, just a suggestion for sharing these spectacular and beautiful photos, if you want to do that.

Whatever you decide to do or not, thank you so much for sharing these with us.

she is doing a lot more than dressing up as her role models.
She is also modeling their expressions and gravitas

That is one amazing little girl!

What a wonderful learning experience!

Thanks for posting!

It should be worked into a calendar that we all could hang on our walls. And I would love to see her do other holidays, too.

Is there some kind of award for this project? Grammy? Academy award? Something?

What a fantastic display. Makes my heart feel so full and proud.

as someone else said, it should be in a calendar format as well.

Everything from each woman's bio to the historical background to the sweep of US history because these women embody it.

Your 5 year old is a budding actress. She mimics the poses and facial expressions so well.

What I really like about it is that it is just opening the door - I immediately thought of a bunch more women that could be on a list like this, and I hope either more people do it, or that this family does one every year.

Thank you!

Really, as others have said, a budding actress. She is gifted.

to Jhan: Thank You so much for sharing.......................to Cristi Smith-Jones: Outstanding, As a history buff this really makes me wish we didn't limit AA history to just one month a year. AA history is World/American/Human history and should be taught as such..................................... to Lola: OFF THE CHARTS COOL!!! If nothing else you made me wish that Feb had more days, and trust me that is really saying something in this cold windy artic like climate!!! LOVED IT!!! THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!

And my God that child is expressive. She has that “old soul” look.

Just wonderful. ❤️

Creative and powerful photos!

I love this. Thank you for sharing!

So adorable!
