Lena Horne-A tribute to a legend

May 20, 2010 by

On May 9, 2010 the world lost a legend. Lena Horne, jazz singer, actress, civil right activist and living legend passed away at the age of 92. She was an icon for so many reasons and I was inspired to do a small tribute to her.  She inspired me by breaking barriers for people of color and women. She was a fashion icon but she also worked hard to stay true to herself and her beliefs.  I think this is what contributed to her timeless beauty and amazing spirit that always shone through.

Enjoy!

Here’s her performance of the song Stormy Weather. It’s one of her most well known performances.

Rest in Peace Lena Horne, you will be missed but your inspiration and light carries on.
