Its no secret that black is beautiful in all shades. And its an affirmation a group of sorority women are celebrating.

To commemorate their 10th anniversary of sisterhood, the women of Delta Sigma Theta, recently took an 3-day trip to the exotic island of Costa Rica. While they were there, they took stunning photos of each other on the decks of their chartered catamaran  and private beaches. Each woman donned a nude-color bathing that highlighted their various shades of skin colors.

Dubbing it #MelaninIllustrated  goal of the photo shoot was to empower each other and celebrate black beauty.  The women represent the Beta Alpha Chapter (BADST) of Florida A&M University. We posted just a few of the beautiful photos below. Well done Royal Women!
