47-Year-Old Black Women

Gabrielle Union and Tracee Ellis Ross celebrated their birthdays this week and showed off one thing we know for certain to never doubt: black don’t crack. Want more proof? These women are all 47 and they all look fine as all hell and pretty much look like they did 20 years ago.

We don’t know what is in the water or grits, but, man it’s got black women out here glowing as they get closer to 50.

Amen.

Take a glorious look.
