Black Women Today

I chose this picture of Nicki Minaj because she is a major icon in today's society. She uses her body to sell her music. Her music is catching, but what is most talked about is her body. In Selling Hot Pussy, bell hooks uses examples of how black women use their bodies to sell to consumers. Another reason why I chose Nicki Minaj is because she is one of the black icons today who conforms to the ideal "black" look for women. Meaning they are light skin, with long hair, typically blonde, and smaller features.
