In the season premiere, Taniqua chats with Cinque Brathwaite, the co-founder and president of the Elombe Brath Foundation. Cinque talks about how the African Jazz Art Society and Studio birthed the Black is Beautiful Movement and the Grandassa models, a group that changed the standards of beauty for an entire community and became the inspiration behind the first drop of Rihanna's Fenty collection.
