They scandalized her Playboy shoot and called her a kook. She was even the first Black woman on a Vogue cover! But fashion history has forgotten her. The supermodel with an artist's soul, her name is Donyale Luna. Donyale and her story are endlessly fascinating - and you can hear it all on the new Dolls Pod, available wherever you stream your podcasts

With a name that literally translates to ‘gift from God,' there is no question as to why Donyale Renee has peaked at this level of her career. A Houston, Texas native, this southern songbird began her career in 1996 as a recording artist on the PlatinumRecords label. Donyale's vocal value led her to a myriad of career enhancing opportunities landing her numerous projects with marquis talent the likes of Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, Maxi Priest, Monifah, Michael Henderson, Golden Touch, Atlanta All Stars, GT All Stars, Zhang Liangying,Smokey Robinson, Marvin C, The Manhattans, and Theodus Ealey. Her work with Sony incudes, SONY PlayStation Video Game ‘Bust a Groove' Vocals for video character, ‘PINKY'. Additionally, she is also the voice of Japan's number one electronic song, “Thunder” by DJ Taka. Donyale has been featured as a marquis talent for the ECIPS MUSIC FESTIVAL in Queens, NY 2017, which she performed alongside AKON, REMY MA, FREDDIE JACKSON a host of Caribbean artist. Recently after entering into the Southern soul arena, she has opened up for blues stars such as LJ Echols, Omar Cunningham, Kenny Wayne, Jeter Jones, Itz Karma, and many other Southern Soul rising hot stars. Donyale's vocal charisma can be as smooth as Diana Ross, clear as Denise Williams, as powerful as Whitney Houston or Celine Dion, dynamic as Beyonce' strong as Tina Turner, and as soulful as the late great Aretha Franklin and Natalie Cole. But before it's all over many will be compared to Donyale Renee.

This episode is going to be a timeline of the life, impact and death of Donyale Luna, the first black supermodel. We'll be touching on her life growing up in an abusive household in the 1940s, becoming a model during a time when racism was alive and well within the fashion industry and 1960s America as a whole, and we'll be looking at how her rise to the top led to an inevitable drug addiction and a lonely death at the age of 33. If you've been following my Tiktoks you'll know that I've been talking a lot about the concept of the supermodel lately and really trying to break down what makes a supermodel. Despite labelling the concept as a ‘90s phenomenon, I think there were early signs of this phenomenon, and that Donyale was actually the first black supermodel, particularly because of how she impacted the fashion industry as a whole. That's just one of the reasons I wanted to dedicate an episode to her; I feel like she's often a footnote in the history books and there are so many inaccuracies in much of the content that's created around her life. So, this is kind of my love letter to Donyale, an audio memorial that hopefully fills in any gaps for her fans and brings her to life for a whole new audience. This episode probably wouldn't have happened if it hadn't been for the work of journalist and author Ben Arogundade. His book: Beauty's Enigma; the story of Donyale Luna – The First Black Supermodel – was hard to track down but was one of the few solid accounts that I could rely on for real facts. I've left a link to it for you below if you're interested. I'd love to know what you think of this episode? Had you heard of Donyale before? Do you like these historical look backs at beauty? Let me know over @beautymepodcast on Instagram or Twitter and definitely look out for some Donyale-themed TikToks over at @charissekenion. I'll also be saving a Donyale highlight on my Instagram so you can see much more of her looks and style. I've also written about the research process for this episode at beautymenotes.substack.com.

In 1966, Donyale Luna graced the March cover of British Vogue. A Detroit native, Luna is widely considered to be the world's first Black supermodel and served as one of the inspirations for the 1975 Diana Ross film Mahogany.Sources to learn more about Luna:http://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,840625-1,00.htmlhttps://www.vogue.co.uk/article/donyale-luna-model-voguehttps://www.thecut.com/2013/07/first-black-supermodel-whom-history-forgot.htmlhttp://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/news-features/TMG9658276/The-tragic-tale-of-Donyale-Luna.htmlhttps://www.bygonely.com/donyale-luna-fashion-model/Daily drops of Good Black News are based on the “A Year of Good Black News Page-A-Day Calendar for 2022,” published by Workman Publishing, and available at workman.com, Amazon, Bookshop and other online retailers.For more Good Black News, check out goodblacknews.org or search and follow @goodblacknews anywhere on social.Photo: Woodgate/Associated Newspapers/Rex USA

It is Donyale's last podcast, and the group talks about the year of ministry that followed George Floyd's death – the way their approach to ministry changed, and the need to be a church calling for justice. It's a reconsideration of faith in politics, and call for faith in politics. The Ask Me Anything Podcast will be on a brief hiatus, but will return with new co-hosts later this summer! In the meantime, send us new questions at fmhouston.com/ama.

On a very loose podcast, the group tries to answer what to do when you feel you need your faith back, and how you're doing better than you think you are. This podcast sounds undedited, but trust me, it is very edited. Ask us a question! fmhouston.com/ama

A follow-up question about the New Jim Crow podcast series asks if the conversation about black imprisonment is perhaps too one-sided. The group… does not agree! Ask us a question! Fmhouston.com/ama.

Chapter Five brings us to a fitting bookend for our series, as the whole book has called us to a life of action. The verses remind Donyale of a Twitter hashtag: #nomorethoughtsandprayers - a call to people to bring about concrete action, not vague feelings. James was also bringing a similar mindset against those who said “go in peace,” yet did nothing to stop the problems of the day. But James also calls on those same people to pray - in fact, call the community together to pray, underscoring it is our collective responsibility to care and alleviate suffering. When we pray, we are responding to God's urging. We are responding to God's invitation to get a glimpse of God's understanding of others and the world. We can understand the hashtag, but let us not give up our prayers. thesourcehouston.org

In the middle chapters of “The New Jim Crow,” Michelle Alexander breaks down racism baked into the justice system, and the group talks about being raised with different expectations, and passing those lessons along to their children. Plus, the exhaustion that comes with constantly being teachers, but the responsibilities we have to educate the people that we talk to. Got a question or a response? Reach us at fmhouston.com/ama!

On our first podcast discussing “The New Jim Crow,” Andy and Donyale are joined by Trinity United Methodist's Deirdre Barrett. The group discusses what stands out in the early chapters of Michelle Alexander's book, including her statement that “colorblindness is not the answer, it's the problem.” The discussion fans out into the call each member felt like the book put on them, including learning to find beauty in diversity without being threatened by it, and trying to find an equal amount of justice and forgiveness. The discussion will continue for two more weeks! Got a question? Visit us at fmhouston.com/ama.

A pretty straightforward question leads to a surprisingly fun and revealing conversation as the group each talks about their favorite sections of the Bible. Got a question? Ask us at fmhouston.com/ama!

The group considers the people God chose to destroy in the story of Noah's ark, and point out the flaws inherent in comparing ourselves to people in the past, both for good and for bad. Ask us a question! Fmhouston.com/ama thesourcehouston.org

During a very tough recording session, the group fights through to talk about metaphor and reality in the Bible, how to approach the gospels, and dealing with matters of faith and the heart. Ask us a question! fmhouston.com/ama

Today's question covers a wide span – starting with John Wesley's abolitionist stance, to the division of the United Methodist church in the run up to the Civil War, to its history within Houston and the Civil Rights movement. Plus, a long look at the ways Scripture has been used to maintain white supremacy in America, and an acknowledgement that this conversation can only be had when we recognize our failures – and learn from them. Books referenced in today's show: Jamar Tisby, “The Color of Compromise” (https://www.amazon.com/Color-Compromise-American-Churchs-Complicity-ebook/dp/B07BB6R827) M. Shawn Copeland, “Enfleshing Freedom” (https://www.amazon.com/Enfleshing-Freedom-Intersections-Innovations-Religious/dp/0800662741/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1CPT8VEKJP48J&dchild=1&keywords=enfleshing+freedom&qid=1616532938&sprefix=enflesh%2Cdigital-text%2C206&sr=8-1) Our podcast with Trinity UMC regarding “The New Jim Crow” begins next month!
