Beautiful, bold and bodacious: Jahliel Thurman and Dozie Ezemma break down the stunner women who dominated the 1990s.
Let’s keep it real: There’s fine and then there’s 1990s fine. The women from that era didn’t have fully beat faces and lace frontals. During this time, less was more. These were the iconic gems fathers and uncles swooned over — so much so, they named their daughters after them.
Hosts Jahliel Thurman and Dozie Ezemma name their favorite “it” girls from the 1990s. The following is a partial transcript of their conversation.
Jahliel Thurman: Let’s see. Let’s see. Who were the top 3 Black “it” girls from the ’90s? You know it’s always hard to choose. It’s so many of them.
Dozie Ezemma: It was a lot.
Thurman: A plethora. First one that comes to mind, I’m going to go Sanaa Lathan.
Ezemma: Can’t miss. She fine.
