When I was making pop art for awhile I wanted to choose someone in history that many people hadn’t heard of. I stumbled upon @joycebryantofficial and it was a dope piece for that time. Unknown to me her niece @robynlabeaud of California Loves Frenchies saw it and was able to show her while she was still here. Although she is not around to see this one I know she would love it! Total hours for this one was about 4-5 in illustrator #lowpolyart #lowpolyportrait #vectorportrait #adobe #adobeillustrator #photoshop #adobephotoshop #graphicdesigner #graphicdesign #digitalillustration #joycebryant #califonialovesfrenchies #popart #vintageart #digitalcreator #houstonentrepreneurs

Black History Month Recap (Part 2 of 2) Here are the last 6 heroes that I honored through fashion: #dianaross #joycebryant and #zeldawynnvaldes, #pamgrier, #patrickkelly, #gracejones Yesterday as I was running errands, I drove past a Japanese Immersion school for kids as well as a Jewish school. Other cultures make it a priority to maintain their culture and teach it to the next generation. I know that as Black Americans much of our history is lost…however, there is still much of our history that is NOT lost, it’s just not prioritized except for February. I challenge each of you to keep learning and keep sharing our stories. #bhm #blackfashion #style

💖 Joyce Bryant (1927 – 2022) American singer, dancer, and civil rights activist 🌹
Courage and Resistance Project: a daily drawing of black power Joyce Bryant During the late 1940s, Bryant had slowly acquired a series of regular gigs, from a $400-per-week engagement at New York City's La Martinique nightclub to a 118-show tour of the Catskill Mountains hotel circuit. Her reputation and profile eventually grew to the level that one night, she appeared on the same bill as Josephine Baker. Not wanting to be upstaged, Bryant colored her hair silver using radiator paint, and performed wearing a tight silver dress and silver floor-length mink. Bryant recalled when she arrived onstage, "I stopped everything!" Bryant's silver hair and tight, backless, cleavage-revealing mermaid dresses became her trademark look and, combined with her four octave voice,[5] further elevated her status into one of the major headlining stars of the early 1950s, by which time she became known by such nicknames as "The Bronze Blond Bombshell", "the black Marilyn Monroe", "The Belter", and "The Voice You'll Always Remember". #FORERUNNER #joycebryant #adailydrawingofblackpower #Courageandresistanceproject #postmodernfunkproject #Forerunner

One of the original ideas I had for this piece was to create a more abstract flower that showed more of the fabric behind it. After I laid down those first outlines in orange thread…something just felt off. But I was determined to see it through since it was part of the original plan. It didn’t help that I was getting antsy to just be finished already. With some help from my friends on IG, I was able to let got of the reigns and get a much needed fresh pair of eyes to help me see more clearly. Sometimes being so laser-focused on details makes you forget about the bigger picture (literally). So if you’re like me don’t forget to chill, zoom out, and get some fresh eyes from your friends. 👍🏾 1. Original design 2. My rough sketch on @procreate to see if this new fill works 3.

Joyce Bryant was an American singer and actress who rose to prominence in the 1940s and 1950s. Bryant was known for her powerful and sultry voice, as well as her glamorous and provocative stage presence. Bryant began her singing career in nightclubs in Los Angeles, where she quickly gained attention for her striking looks and captivating performances. She was often compared to Lena Horne and was dubbed the "Black Marilyn Monroe" due to her beauty and charisma. Bryant's vocal style was influenced by jazz and rhythm and blues, and she was known for her dynamic stage presence. Bryant's glamorous image, with her signature evening gowns, sequins, and fur, made her a standout performer in an era when African American artists often faced racial discrimination. She broke barriers as one of the first black artists to perform at prestigious venues such as the Copacabana in New York City and the Mocambo in Los Angeles. Joyce Bryant's impact as a trailblazing African American artist, known for her stunning beauty, mesmerizing voice, and boundary-pushing performances, remains significant in the history of American popular culture. #JoyceBryant #MusicLegend #Trailblazer #RetroScholar #GoldenAge #VintageVibes #BlackMarilynMonroe #GlamorousIcon #JazzDiva #RhythmAndBlues #LegendarySinger #HollywoodStar #PowerfulPerformance #InspirationalArtist #TimelessTalent #SingingSensation #GoddessOfMusic #IconicBeauty #BreakingBarriers #PioneeringArtist #JazzAndBlues #GoldenEra #VocalPowerhouse #StagePresence #CulturalTrailblazer #GlamourousEntertainer #ClassicHollywood #MusicLegacy #RisingStar #TrailblazingTalent

Today we honour Joyce Bryant for her incredible contributions to music and entertainment. Joyce Bryant is an American singer and actress who rose to fame in the 1950s. She is known for her deep and sultry voice, as well as her glamorous image and extravagant stage presence. Bryant was one of the first black female performers to break through racial barriers and achieve mainstream success in the United States. Nicknamed "The Bronze Bombshell," her sultry and dramatic style captivated audiences across the country and made her one of the few African-American women to achieve such widespread success during that era. She sang a wide range of genres, including jazz, blues, and pop, and her powerful voice made her a standout performer. Bryant's impact on the entertainment industry cannot be overstated. Not only was she an accomplished performer, but she also broke down barriers and paved the way for future generations of Black women in music and entertainment. By refusing to be held back by societal limitations, she embodied resilience and strength, inspiring others to pursue their dreams despite the odds. Her extraordinary talent and unwavering spirit continue to inspire us today, and her legacy serves as a reminder of the immense power of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity. #BlackWomanTrailblazer #JoyceBryant #BronzeBombshell #BlackWoman #BlackWomenInMusic #BlackWomenInArts #Trailblazer #BlackWomanTrailblazer 📝 Curated and written by @Vinna.Best #DearBlackWomenandGirls @DearBlackWomenandGirls @DearBlackWomenandGirlsStories

In today’s #FreedomFighterFriday, we’ll be highlighting the career and activism of #JoyceBryant. During her career from the 1940s-50s, she was known as “The Belter,” “The Black Marilyn Monroe,” and “The Bronze and Blonde Bombshell.” #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM She quickly gained acclaim because of her vocal range and astonishing fashion sense. Unfortunately, her talent did not shield her from facing racism and misogyny during her career. She faced threats and racist demonstrations during performances from the KKK, and maltreatment from her manager. This led to her calling on all prominent Black entertainers to band together in light of the treatment they faced. Ultimately, she would decide to leave the entertainment industry as a result of the exploitation and systemic prejudices she faced. Soon after, she enrolled at Oakwood University, a Historically Black seventh-day Adventist institution in Huntsville, Alabama. While re-engaged with her religious work, she would also get involved with the #CivilRightsMovement & #MLK where she helped organize fundraisers. She would eventually find herself back in show business, where she re-invented herself and performed on her own terms. Joyce Bryant’s legacy is her trailblazing merging of performing arts, civil rights activism, & religion. She’s a great example of finding your lane in the movement, & we’re thankful for her contributions! Read more about her here: https://www.blackwomenradicals.com/blog-feed/joyce-bryant
