A Homecoming of Epic Proportions at Howard University
Gorgeous Spread in Harper’s Bazaar. By Kaitlyn Greenidge and Photographs by Quentin De Brien; Styling by Yashua Simmons

This year, Harper’s Bazaar took her back to The Mecca and the shots are STUNNING.
Here are some of my favorites:
The spread, the direction, the colors, the edits, the mix of posed and real — big fan.
