Black Hair And Black Beauty Featured In All Its 'Glory'

Glory, a word that radiates magnificence, is exactly what photographers Kahran and Regis Bethencourt wanted to depict in their new book, "GLORY: Magical Visions of Black Beauty."

The book, a collection of more than 100 photos of Black children from around the world, shatters traditional standards of beauty and showcases multiple expressions of Black hair and Black beauty. It comes at a time when the nation is grappling with issues of race and racism.

The husband and wife duo behind "GLORY" say they hope the images and essays in the book will help Black children to celebrate themselves and other non-Black readers to see the versatility and power of Black beauty.

Guests:

Kahran and Regis Bethencourt, photographers and the owners of CreativeSoul Photography, in Atlanta, Georgia, and authors of "GLORY: Magical Visions of Black Beauty."

Shanna Thomasson, owner and hairstylist at Red Mystique Art in Atlanta, who styled the cover and other work in “GLORY.”
