Josephine Baker is a Black icon celebrated on 20th May every year on Josephine Baker Day, created during her lifetime. Her life story is astonishing: she became famous as the woman who danced semi-naked in a banana skirt, but fought for Black rights so hard she toppled segregation in music venues and was honoured as the only woman asked to give a speech at the iconic 1963 civil rights march on Washington. We love picturing her sitting on the podium next to MLK in her French air force uniform. A true heroine <3
