Diva Gone
On May 9, 2010 we lost a true Diva Mrs. Lena Horne. Mrs. Horne was born June 30, 1917 in Brooklyn, New York. Mrs. Horne paved the way and set the standards for future divas, and people of color in the entertainment business. Ms. Horne had to face much discrimination because of her skin color, not her talent which was superb, but her skin color. Young divas visit the biography on Mrs. Horne and ask yourself am I carrying myself like a diva? In order to understand where you are at right now you need to know where you’ve been. This means that you must acquaint yourself with your past, and that is those who have paved the way for you. I won’t judge and neither should you, but I will hold a diva to high standards. Just because a sister calls herself a diva doesn’t mean she is one. Pay homage to the past divas, for they are your future. Mrs. Lena Horne I thank you for paving the way for me to just be a proud black woman. Mrs. Diva we salute you. Rest in peace Mrs. Horne.

ReplyDeleteI adore lena horne, one of my favorite songs by her is "My heart belongs to daddy."
ReplyDeleteNot only was she an amazing entertainer who open up doors for black entertainers coming up behind her, but she was a fighter. She fought for black equality, beauty, and respect.
Her legacy will not be forgotten and I know she will be proud to have such a beautiful and intellegent sistah acknowledge her work and contributions in our history.
A fitting tribute for a phenomenal talent the world lost a great one. Good writing sis
