Pam Grier.

I stan for Ms. Grier, but the headdress situation is not cool. You can be fierce without cultural appropriation, boo.

Pam Grier is Cheyenne & Black. Also, there is some room in the Cheyenne customs for women to wear head dresses like this one. Pam took this pic sometime in the 60’s so I don’t know that we can apply a modern set of standards to it.

I wanted her to be my babysitter and seduce me once I saw Foxy Brown…. Still do in fact! LOL
