Such an intelligent woman. I have always loved her in whatever she has been in.
She’s timeless ❤
Damn!! She still looks AMAZING for a 67 year old!!
Some 67 year old women look younger than women in their 40's, 50's, and early 60's. It's called good genes and healthy lifestyles!
@@louisefisher641 ‼️‼️
@@louisefisher641 the best nutrition and medical care doesn’t hurt
She and Gail are the same age
Somali genes
Correction Iman did not came here as refuge she was discovered while she was a University student in Kenya.
But Refugee is trendier so ........
Oohhh ok ok. Well, they make it sound like she was so helpless and desperate
@@CPT543 black victimhood is a business it sells and the wokies eat it all up.
@@MOTHATALKS so still incorrect
Yes true and also she coming educated Family
The people in the comments negating she was the first Black supermodel, supermodel means global fashion representation. Iman was in Vogue 3 days after arriving in New York. That gives you the type of career she had, including becoming the muse of Yves Saint Laurent. Supermodel is something unique and no other Black model had that until Iman. They didn't say she was the first Black model, they said supermodel.
Donyale Luna was given this title. She was also the first black model on the cover of vogue in 1966. Why this title; Luna entered modeling in a period that favored "white passing models" and has been described as "the first Black model who really began to change things; to enable more diverse beauty paradigms to break through". Kudos to Iman - she is in her own lane. Just saying - when you Google.....Donyale Luna comes up, not Iman.
@@DEDavisThank you. I don't have to write all of this again.
I was an 80s teen and I always liked her movies in the 80s & 90s. Star Trek IV, LA Story, Exit to Eden, Out of Africa, No Way Out.
The average African especially born on the continent speaks a minimum of 4 languages.
Right like this is so normal
That is true.
That's true but that's not normal in Somalia. In Somalia there is only 1 language 'Somali'
@@missethio7394they cover one of the most expansive landmasses by a single ethnic group in african and speak the same language, also they do tend to speak arabic as well
Wow....beautiful, educated, smart , rich and influential....perfect combination
Beauty icon! Can’t wait to watch the docuseries!
One of the all time greats. ❤
I love her ❤! Iman is legendary
Love her make up line ♥
The most beautiful woman on the planet!!!
Her neck is untouched!!
Thank you Iman😊❤️
Thank you Gail 😊❤️
I love her to death...drop dead gorgeous, smart as a freaking whip, and ONE TOUGH COOKIE. But Iman wasn't the first black supermodel. There were two BEFORE her. And their names are Naomi Sims, who Im pretty certain, was the first black model to be put on the cover of a major fashion magazine (may she rest in peace)...and the legendary Pat Cleveland, who had been doing print modeling and runway modeling, BEFORE Naomi or Iman. She also did private viewings/shows for the ultra-wealthy, where she was a muse for fashion gods like Karl Lagerfeld and Halston, BEFORE Iman broke thru, a decade after her.
GEORGEOUS women with so much class and poise...Love You Iman.
👠 she's gorgeous (inside & out)!
Just beautiful, intelligent and talented! Such and superb icon!!
I loved the Iman lipstick line
its definitely impressive the drastic change in the industry when it comes to black models in just the last 5 years alone. I was looking through some old Vogue magazines a few days ago from 2008 and there wasn't a single advertisement that featured a black woman and now you have not just 1 but many prominent black models like Adut Akech walking the runway.
And Serena Williams is on the Cover of September Vogue.
Yeah the 2000s were the drought of the black model.
Her Makeup Line B4 Fenty tho. I haven't forgotten it ❤Crazy how time flies.
That's something how Iman and Beverly Johnson were against the rival of Black models and became friends. Iman told the same story on Naomi Campbell TH-cam chanel; No Filter. However Naomi Campbell, who I love and respect, didn't do same thing to Tyra Banks, who I love and respect. I do believe Naomi Campbell was used as a token black model in the fashion industry and was against /had a rival with Tyra Banks when she came on the scene. Naomi Campbell chose not to be friends with Tyra Banks instead Naomi Campbell became friends with white models like Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford, Claudia Shuffer, and Linda Evangelista. Regardless of what people think or feel about Tyra Banks; Tyra Banks was part of history in the fashion and beauty industry. These two black models Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks could have work together and became friends like Iman and Beverly Johnson and go against racism in the fashion and beauty industry.
When they knew better they did better. Iman came from a very different background and brought new and fresh ideas with her when she arrived. Good for her and us
Damn I love Iman's voice. I think I love her. 🙂
L❤VE IMAN !!!
The reason she is called the first blck supermodel is because she was/is more successful than the others who came before her and Donyale Luna did not even identify herself as blck!
Beverly Johnston exists
@@nanakayist Iman is more famous than Beverly
Love her
Iman! Love that sista 👍🏾
Gayle always have to make the conversation go totally right (about the goat) when a black person discuss passionate blackness.
Blackness. Another vague term with which everybody has their own definition.
What does she do to make the conversation go right? Interesting
She's majestic looking very Regal.
She looks fantastic
Absolutely Consistently Imperial
Iman is both beautiful and talented
His daughter looks just like him!
Go crawl back into your white little hole and never come back out this time.
Right?! I thought they were going to show her all grown up now after that video.
@@thrshwll1526 You didn't get what CRB (the comment above) was trying to say did you? CRB was trying to say that Iman is a man.
@@wileyjohnson5681 No. I took it as his (David Bowie) daughter looks just like him when they were singing together in the video.. I think YOU didn't understand
ICON 💕💋
Iman is the ultimate Black Girls She-ro!!
She is an I.C.O.N. BLESS YOU!
Adrienne Fidelin was the first black model to be put in a magazine (fashion or not), Harper's Bazaar, in 1937. My guess is this documentary missed this fact, because it isn't widely known.
Iman was holding her tears as she was talking about David.
👑❤️An absolute, beautiful, poised Queen. I love and respect you to the highest, Queen Iman. 🎊❤️
She looks good 👍... ALL that .💲💲💲💲 money helps to stay young. looking ... just my opinion..... Wonder if she would ever do a bio book on Bowie ??????
This is how most Black woman look. A Black woman who was turning 70 equally as good! She went viral.
I just don't understand why we have to fight for every little thing. Still fighting today . So much racism in every facet of life.
Wasn't Beverly Johnson the first Black supermodel?
Beverly was the 1st to be on the cover of Vogue Magazine!
A true Queen Iman
Iman isn’t the first black supermodel. Beverly Johnson got her historic vogue cover before Iman arrived
What country is she from? Just wondered…
Somali easy African
Nation
@@mushtaaqahmed2466 Africa is a continent, Somaliland is a country
@@chevalierdenoir754 ignorant comment. Iman is East African and her country is Somalia
@@missethio7394 what is your effing point? no really what is your comment?
Somali women is strong women in the world
Not strong.. but delicate, smart
@@ashanyc9146 dont forgat halima adan and ilhan omar
@@xiiranechanel9856 come on bro all women are strong and beautiful in there own ways. We only have like a handful of somali models lol, don't disregard the thousands other models. There all amazing, some more famous and age better like Iman.
Yes, she is ageless
Is her own boss well done
DONYL LUNA WAS THE FIRST BLACK SUPERMODEL. DO YOUR HOMEWORK LADY ! A WHOLE MOVIE WAS WRITTEN ABOUT HER LIFE CALLED MOHOGANY, starring Diana Ross. How you dropped the ball on this???😮
Get your facts in order, Gail. Iman is not a refugee. She was the daughter of a diplomat . She was studying in Kenya when she was discovered as a model.
Iman is not the first Black supermodel. Beverly Johnson, the first Black model to land on the cover of Vogue is.
Why NAOMI wasn't on it still baffles me
Wait...she is legendary in her own right but was really the 1st?..grace jones?...Beverly johnson?...and if you want to really go back look up donyale luna
She was the first Super Model not Model
Beverly johnson was the 1st black woman on the cover of american vogue. Donyale was the 1st in british vogue. And grace jones was international too even transcended to movies and pop culture. Why are you making it sound like they weren't successful international models in their day?...what exactly does supermodel mean then?
@@tasibho there’s no need to rank these beautiful black women! Each one of them was the “first” black supermodel for their own generation and/or their own parts of the world… why the need for competition and downplay their successful accolades??
Is it to just show of your knowledge?
Yep Beverly Johnson was before her
@@cynthianolder3557 But Iman has been more successful.
"No more just one token on the runway." *proceeds to make a movie tokenizing black women in fashion
She was not the first black supermodel. Before Iman, there were others like Donyale Luna, Naomi Sims, Patt Cleveland, Alva Chinn, etc.
Iman is not the first Black supermodel. That honor belongs to Beverly Johnson.
For me as a Dutch blonde I don't use much make-up. I admire all kinds of models so also called Blacks and when I know them by name I call them by name and not 'a black one' . Iman, Naomi Campbell, Beverly Peele etc. Kind regards to him and others.
Kind regards, Saskia van Houtert engineer of the first FORD KA and other FORD'S the new TRANSITfor example.
Nickname's: (saus)age and the black lady by her clothing.
Naomi Sims is my first Black model.. Beverly Johnson. Imani said she was Ethiopian not Black..said Michelle Obama was not attractive...forget this woman..how's her African American daughter by that basketball player...
Iman never said that! Iman is Somali, and always said she was!! Why are you lying at your big age
"FIRST BLACK SUPERMODEL?" WTH? She was NOT the 1st. That's a huge lie? 😳
She was not the first black supermodel
It wasn’t a missed it was a different time a different world back then they didn’t have the knowledge we have now can we say that so younger people seeing this don’t think it was racism
Why would someone call Iman black while she is a pure Somali Super model?
Soomali black too also East African country
@@mushtaaqahmed2466 what’s so easy about it ?
@@antreaserobinson7995 sorry I mean East
East African. We're Black/Sub-Saharan African.
Somali ppl are BLACK. Black people at the Horn of Africa have a different physical appearance because of historical as well as geographical reasons. Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somaliland, and Northern Sudan (Nubia) tend to have Afro-Asiatic features because Yemen and Saudi-Arabia are not far away but they are still Sub-Saharan African peoples.
😊💞B-R-A=V-O 💗EXCELLENT SHOW !
First Black supermodel? Umm...no. She is African, not Black. She knows her country of origin, her culture, her motherland, her roots.
Big difference.
So is she red?
@@muzo lol.
She's still Black. She's brilliant. She's beautiful. She's an advocate and unifier. She's Black
She’s not black? Come on!
Not the first
No she wasn't it was Donyale Luna
She was beautiful. Died at the age of 34. Opioid overdose. Very sad
#Mahsaamini
Donyale Lune was the First black Super model. It's crazy how these models let someone else claim them to be the first while knowing who was really there first. Sad. Taking your own sister's shine.
Why is Gayle king still on the news? Oprah is gone and Gayle should be too!!! Let's get some young filly in there!!!
Is the host dressed up for Halloween?
Less is more. In this case, less ain't enough.
Beautiful
STILLNESS & SELF INQUIRY
1 second ago
WILL THE WORLD GO THROUGH A BLACKOUT? WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PREPARE FOR THE BLACKOUT?
You must win the battle with your mind.
Your baby self called “Spirit” must rise up from obscurity behind your Mind and take precedent over your mind.
Your Mind must come into realization that it is just a Mind and NOT a Self. Bring Mind To Stillness.
Turn Your Light On. Mind and Self must exist in equanimity.
TIME TO AWAKE FROM THE DREAM! Self Inquiry is the Key
You can wake yourself up and be in awareness so that Self Supreme Void Unmanifest doesn't have to wake you up.
OR, The Self Supreme Will Wake You Up. You Decide.
Perks For Waking Yourself Up: You Rise up in Non-dual World
