Tameka Foster Still Says Black Women Don’t Like Themselves…
“This Oakland Native is a walking contradiction. She’s sophisticated yet around-the-way; Tough but vulnerable. She’s serious minded but always joking and laughing. On blogs she’s ripped apart for unflattering pictures; in person she’s attractive and chic.”
“As a world renowned celebrity stylist she’s created memorable looks for Lauryn Hill (bangles, boots, Balenciaga), Jay-Z (the button-downs), Toni Braxton (the barely there Richard Tyler) and Usher (the magnificently fitted coat he donned at the inauguration was her ode to a retiring Valentino.)”
And how she feels about people not liking her:
“I understand where all the negativity comes from”, she says. “Unfortunately I think that some black women are – subconsciously – not in love with the image they see in the mirror. Therefore in turn they do not love someone like me. I look too much like them. They would definitely have preferred my husband marry someone more exotic looking. I was not given a fair shot. People passed judgment without getting to know me. How can you get the entire concept of who I am from a blog?”
“The dissolution of marriage is always upsetting. You have the expectation that it will work. But, you know what? it didn’t work. But he’s (Usher) a great guy. I will always love him.”
