Black Woman in Beauty Series: Patti La Belle

Patti LaBelle was one of the first people that come to my mind when I thought of paying tribute to great African American women who were contributions to the beauty industry.  The reason being, Patti has always exuded confidence shown in the way she performed a song and in the types of acting roles she took on. Patti found ways to help us appreciate all of our senses, the most influential being taste as her cookbooks, "Recipes for the Good Life" and "Recipes to Sing About" and others became a trending topic in American culture. The other senses being smell. Patti developed her own line of fragrances, for both men and women.  Her collection was made available through one-to-one marketing and mall kiosks.
