Naomi Sims, appearance as the first Black model to be on the cover of Ladies Home Journal in November 1968 was groundbreaking for models of color. Ms. Sims provided entry into the rarefied world of fashion and it's historical whites only club. But, with her beautiful dark skin and keen features, Ms. Sims broke all molds. Ms. Sims would retire from modeling and become a business entrepreneur, specializes in women of color cosmetics and wigs. Ms. Sims had cancer and left this earth with a shining moment and great appreciation. She will be missed.
