solasdisapproves:ithelpstodream:An icon in every sense of the word, Josephine Baker is the bisexual goddess we all truly aspire to be.She dated Frida Kahlo, was a top cabaret dancer and helped to defeat the Nazis in France through her work as a resistance spy.The extraordinary American hero wasn’t always destined for greatness though.https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2018/03/05/meet-the-bisexual-black-cabaret-dancer-and-spy-who-dated-frida-kahlo-and-helped-defeat-the-nazis-in-france/can we not forget that josephine baker spent her career being fetishised because of her race, made a number of french-speaking films and performed on stage until well into the 1970s. there’s over 40 cds you can buy today of the english and french songs she has sung throughout her career. she is so much more than just a black woman who danced on stage. also let’s remind ourselves that jospehine left the US and renounced her citizenship to work and live in france because they were more accepting of her there than in america where she was born. she even refused to perform in the US because she didn’t want segregated audiences. josphine baker is not an american hero, SHE IS A BLACK ICON. -- source link
