"My mom’s sisters were naturally my aunts, beloved by my brothers and me. But her friends were also a constant part of the background—in our home, at gatherings at the houses of my parents’ friends, and at important moments like birthdays and graduations—and though they weren’t relatives, my mom instructed me to refer to all of them as “Auntie” anyway," @aokeowo reflects on the role of aunties in her life. "Along with my mom, my aunties were visions of what life could look like when I eventually decided who I would be—a panorama of Black womanhood that included professionals, stay-at-home mothers, and the flyest “spinsters” I had ever seen. And by virtue of the ease they had in their bodies, my aunties radiated an attitude of feeling good about yourself, especially the healthier and curvier you were, that predated the idea of body positivity."

At the link in our bio, for our December issue story, "Family Values: An Ode to Aunties and Their Inimitable Sense of Style," @aokeowo shares more about the role of the auntie—those spirited, irreverent elders who form the moral (and sartorial) backbone of many Black communities—alongside striking looks that revel in lavish prints and shimmering textiles.
