Don't apologize. You have a real life like the rest of us. We get the notifications and we tune in. You are just fine and amazing. We see you when we see you and tune in. You're doing great!
In high school, I did my final exam on Josephine Baker. During my research, I cried ugly tears learning about the contributions this beautiful woman had made. She was actually still alive at the time and fortunately I had the help of teachers who were down for the cause (1974). Of course, I got an A+ and to this day she is my personal shero. #firstblacksuperstar.🥰
The FIRST and ONLY Black woman to be buried in the pantheon!!! Can you imagine the convos among her, Curie, Dumas, and Voltaire!?? Maybe I should write that…
You ever have the chance to see “The Josephine Baker Story” with Lynn Whitfield, it’s a must see. One of the best HBO bios and if I’m not mistaken Lynn won an Emmy for her role
The Josephine Baker Story is the way I learned about Josephine Baker as a young kid, and I LOVED it. I didn't hear about her for a long time after that, but I just saw a piece about her again in BRAZEN by Pénélope Bagieu and I love her story. For a long time I thought the Josephine Baker Story was a work of fiction until I heard about her in a Library a few years after seeing the movie. This is a great video!
@@VeenBristow it was must watch TV back then, that was when HBO spared NO EXPENSE on movies and it was riveting because Lynn brought Josephine to life💖
Nice to have some positive history! Of course it's important to learn the horrible things that have happened, but I'd definitely be interested in some positive videos thrown in!
We missed you! Don't ever feel guilty or feel the need to apologize for taking care of yourself. You always come first. We're happy you're back.💕 I hope you do a Makeup & History on Eartha Kitt or Billy Holiday. I feel like people don't talk about these ladies enough and you do amazing research!
Hazel Scott an extremely talented black woman who spoke multiple languages, was able to play two pianos at once, I think you'll love her just as much❤️
"She was an angel."................and a genuine badass. She never let anything slow her done let alone stop her.. She has been one of my heroines every since I first saw a picture of her walking a cheetah on a leash way back in the 80s. I just had to learn more about her.. Your correct,, She was the coolest, and just kept on getting cooler the more I learned about her.. Love, love love her! Thanks for doing this one. Glad to see you back, thinking good thoughts your way.
Thanks for doing Josephine Baker! I became obsessed with her years ago. I’d recommend listening to the interviews with her kids. Apparently the “rainbow tribe” was not a happy ordeal. I guess adopting kids as representatives of their different biological backgrounds as a social experiment to disprove racism isn’t the best reason to have kids. I don’t blame her for being compelled to do this, but it’s sad that she carried so much pain. Glad to hear you’re doing alright! Hey, it’s tough to be human. Probably many of your viewers have been through tough times, so it’s okay! We get it.
YAS I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE YOU POST AGAIN! Also so interesting that growing up kids in America were taught we were like the country of progress and everyone wanted to be like us but in reality, we were grossly behind, archaic and people had to flee to France just to get human treatment. smh
Glad to see you're back :) my grand parents were born in the 20s in France and they loved Josephine Baker. She was very popular in our family and I got to learn about her very early on.
When I was very young- elementary school aged- I watched "the Josephine Baker story," and I loved it sooo much, I watched it every single day, like twice a day, for AT LEAST a month. It was heavily marketed as a true story, so I fully believed, for yeaarrs afterward, that Lynn Whitfield WAS Josephine Baker, and that I had been watching a very HBO-glamorous documentary 🤣 I seriously can't believe how very smart, yet ridiculously dumb I was, all at the same time😂
I was just thinking of makeup and history yesterday. We've been blessed with this video. I love the makeup in this look. And, take your time. We know you have a lot going on.
The bold-faced gall of segregationists never ceases to enrage and sadden me. Yet, she didn't just persist, she was absolutely victorious! You and Josephine made this a happy history lesson, thank you so much!
this was amazing, so so glad you covered Josephine, she was one of my fave historical figures growing up. She was definitely an angel and yes, we should all aspire to be better people!
I love her, she was an international super star back in the day. I did a paper on her in high school and I absolutely love everything Josephine Baker. She lived a phenomenal life, and was a phenomenal human being. Thank you for introducing her to others. Also Happy Birthday my love. I dont know the exact date, but as an Aries I remember fellow Aries 🎂🎊♈️❤️!!!
Never been so early! Good to see you ❤️ and I’m happy you’re doing okay. I’d gladly wait *years* for a MU&H if it means you get to prioritize yourself and your needs.
This was amazing there was so much about her I didn't know. It is sad, though, that her own birthplace treated her so badly. On the topic of Paris in the 20s, there was this whole group of artists that hung out there during this time and Picasso was one of them, along with a pretty impressive group of American writers like Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein. You should look that up too, its very interesting.
Stop stressing sweetheart, we're here whenever your able.. Take care of yourself 1st, always.. Great to see you looking well and always appreciate the amazing content. 💙💜💙
Always nice to have updates on Josephine Baker. To this day , one of her sons , jean Claude Baker opened Chez Josephine, a French American cuisine restaurant to honor the legendary entertainer. One of my friends worked there in the NYC theater district.
I’m sorry to break it to you but Frieda, unfortunately, wouldn’t have, partied with Josephine. Look up some of her quotes on her p0I*+*cal ideals & you’ll understand why. She thought the same way about certain p30ples as €h3… They were not a good bunch down there, at that time. I love her art, but d@mn… The they thought about and treated immigr@n+$ and other min0r!ty groups was f-€k3d up. It’s a very sad and shameful part of history. SMH What was said was probably just a rumor.
Thank you so much for covering the story I too love Josephine Baker so very much! If you ever get to St. Louis Missouri we have a wonderful display at our history Museum and memorial to Josephine Baker. By the way you are also an angel on earth love you too! ❤😊
i just found your channel from your last video, and i’ve been binging everything. i love your energy so much and you do NOT have to apologize for not posting, your mental health is the most important thing. i’m glad you’re doing better !!!
I love goofy Cydnee! You know, my daughter and I were having a conversation about Josphine Baker and her Rainbow Tribe the other day. So glad you covered her.
What an inspiring woman! I never knew all of Josephine Baker's history and story. Thank you for sharing her story with us. She certainly paved the way for so many strong, talented women. She did it all! Fearlessly! Love the makeup!! Your eye makeup is stunning. We missed you! 💖😘
You never have to apologize to your followers (extra sassy in this video. and I loved) I'm really happy you did her story She was the real OG 💙 the first boss
Hello from France ! Loved your energy. Total fan of Josephine Baker. Let's be honest. Who wouldn't ? Legendary artist / Spy during WW2 / Civil rights, LGBTQ, feminist activist ... She was just amazing. Most definitely one of the most important person of the 20th century. You may not be aware of this but in November 2021 she was buried in the Pantheon in Paris. The Pantheon is a very important monument in France, built during the 18th century, where the most influencial French personalities in History are celebrated, like Pierre and Marie Curie, Louis Braille (who invented the Braille alphabet), and many other scientists, politicians, writers, philosophers, activists and so on, during an official ceremony where French president made a very beautiful speech. She is totally adored here and finally received all the honors she deserves.
Ahhhh!! So excited for this video and girl no apology needed.❤😊You do you. Your so good at story telling. You have a great funny personality. I love it when you do the time machine and when you sing maakeup and histoory 🎤🎶lol. I'm so proud of you for prioritizing your mental health. Good Job!! Your a good example for others struggling with mental health issues. Addressing mental health issues within yourself can be scary and a lot of the time it gets worse before it get better. The fact that you are willing to go through that journee may very well inspire others to do the same.
This video was especially interesting for me because my daddy always been talking about Josephine Baker and I never knew who she was. Now I know! And I also understand how he learned about her, probably through Picasso, because my dad is an artist (painter) and he loves Picasso and all his crazy art work. Thank you for sharing! You are doing great! You are beautiful, with or without make up!
She impacted my life so much, first heard about her when I was 11 (now 30) and knew since then that if I ever decided to be a mother, my children would be adopted.
Cydnee saying Josephine made more than all the other performers including the while women who were making $16 week. Me thinking "I bet she was making like $25-$30 a week!" Cydnee then saying Josephine made $125 week 😮! Hell, yeah!
This was awesome Cydnee, totally enjoyed it all, so inspiring. Continue to take care of you sis, we here ready to watch whenever you post. We loyal like that😘😊 Love & light.
This was a really interesting video! Josephine truly is the epitome of iconic and definitely worthy of being an inspiration ❤ Also, you're so beautiful! With and without makeup, 😍.
OMG, you have me crying. We get such a white wash story of her here. I had no idea, and I think you for her amazing history. She truly is a hero and thank you.
you are one of the most beautiful women i've ever seen, not just your face but your comforting energy too, i've missed your videos but i hope you are doing well mentally too💕
this is definitely one of my favorite videos of yours so far!! I'd love to hear more stories abt interesting and great woman from the past. also, every video of yours is a delight, Cydnee, don't worry too much abt the algorithm, I'm sure every fan of this series will be here whenever they're ready. xoxo
Wow! I had never heard of her, so thank you Cydnee, for bringing her into my life! She is the kind of person to change the world for the better and the kind of person this world needs more of, especially now!!
I had heard of Josephine name but didn't know anything about her. Thanks for teaching me about her. I am glad she passed away knowing she was loved and appreciated
Awww we have missed you, Cyd!!🤗 Your make-up is flawless and you look great! Now, about Josephine, as a child of the 70s, I remember my grandma bragging about how Josephine Baker was a tough Black woman that didn't take any mess! Cyd, great job at highlighting her life and career!👏❤⚜️
First of all, your return is extremely welcomed & fantastically awesome... I'm really enjoying your content & because of the fact that I was a singer musician back in the day, I am well aware of Kool Az Heaven, Josephine Baker & I intently watched Her Life Story; But several details about Joseph's life that eluded me... You, in a very entertaining enjoyable way, made me aware of... I really like you, I think you are pretty kool & terrific yourself... Keep being you & doin what you do...
i’d never really cared much for josephine baker because she knowingly perpetuated a lot of negative black stereotypes in her performances & that made me uncomfortable. but the way you spoke about her here allowed me to see a lot of different aspects of her, and i appreciate her much more now.
Girl, WELCOME BACK!!! Also, DYING to hear your take on the Princess Anastasia Romanov imposter. So fascinating 🥰 thank you for your content, as always!
So glad to see you back and I hope you feel restored and refreshed. Make up and history is fabulous. The nazis were puritans...not so sure about that, there are all sorts of references in film and books to their penchant for prostitutes and grabbing any woman they liked. Much like any soldier I suppose. I enjoyed learning more about Josephine Baker. Thank you.
I just have to say that I'm so embarrassed and disappointed in our history when it comes to race. It just tugs at my heart when I hear what black people had to go through. So inhumane. Ughhhhhhhhhh
Hi Cydnee! Thank you for taking time out of your life to continue making these videos. My husband & I love them so much. Glad you're doing okay.. I'll be patiently - impatiently waiting for the next one. *Hugs*
Great to see you Cydnee! I’d wondered where you’d gone. Good to hear you’re in a better mind space now. ❤️ i love the story of Josephine Baker. She was definitely someone who tried to make the world better and lift other performers up with her. I believe there was some controversy though over one of her adopted babies, a bit like there was with one of Madonna’s kids. I remember hearing this on a podcast recently, but can’t remember which child it was.
Josephine Baker has been my all time favorite since I was like 7 so the fact that you're just getting to really know her blows me away. She took the cake just being who she was and will forever have like one of the highest respects from me❤️ RIP.
I love this video so much! It was so positive, uplifting and inspiring. I would love more positive black icon stories, but more positive stories in general would be amazing.
So glad you're back dear. You do not have to apologize love. I can not imagine the pressure RUclipsrs probably feel. And to feel like you HAVE to do something. Hugs. Just know you never HAVE to do anything love ❤️
I just saw you on Snapchat talking about your eye color & how people have so many opinions. Let me tell you something. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!😍😍😍 You would be with brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes, purple eyes, ANY COLOR! You’re gorgeous either way & I’m pretty sure some of those haters are JUST JEALOUS!! Jealousy is one the the #1 reasons there are haters.
Love the look, LOVE the video, loooooove seeing you again! I never knew anything about Josephine Baker except that she was a performer and dang, she actually is the coolest! Thank you for sharing all this!
Lol maybe it's bc i'm spanish so i obviously know well about picasso but i find it funny how americans always seem to think he lived in the 1800s or something haha. He was a cubist, ain't that like a very modern painting style? (well, it's a 100 years old now lol) Also, his most famous painting is about the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939)! Loved the video, loved Josephine's story. She truly was THAT girl!! xoxo
She was overly amazing. How can someone top her?! I loved this one. Best one yet Cydnee! She is seriously just my favorite woman now. She just gets more amazing with every sentence.
Don't apologize. You have a real life like the rest of us. We get the notifications and we tune in. You are just fine and amazing. We see you when we see you and tune in. You're doing great!
you have quite the talent there young lady! Have you done Frida Kahlo yet? I’d like to see her bio.
I couldn’t of said it better myself ♥️🌹♥️
I didn’t get the notification. I just saw the video pop up and I immediately said bye to the video I was watching 🥰. I love makeup and history 🥳

I currently live in Paris and they’ve just had Josephine Baker’s body transferred to the Pantheon! She is obviously well deserving of that honor
Oh Wow! That's awesome and yes, absolutely Well Deserved!!♥️💕🥰♥️💕
The talent never diminished, the enthusiasm never wavered. She loved her audiences and they loved her right back
The FIRST and ONLY Black woman to be buried in the pantheon!!! Can you imagine the convos among her, Curie, Dumas, and Voltaire!?? Maybe I should write that…

Not much has changed, sadly.
Many people are prejudice against natural redheads.
Josephine was beautiful
Shakira dances like Josephine Baker

I remember hearing this on a podcast recently, but can’t remember which child it was.
Just curious, what’s the name of the podcast? :)
I adore your positive videos, thank you so much for sharing her beautiful life story with us! ❤️

LOVED this video (especially the tone of it!). Holy cow, Josephine Baker is incredible.
I'M SO EXCITED! I just woke up to a notification from you! Love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦
Thank you for this! So interesting to hear about her life! Thank you thank you, thank you!
She is one of the most incredible heroines for the past 200 years.
Josephine Baker has been my all time favorite since I was like 7 so the fact that you're just getting to really know her blows me away. She took the cake just being who she was and will forever have like one of the highest respects from me❤️ RIP.
GREAT JOB from you no ?
LOVED this video of yours!
Mental health comes first, then the rest falls into place. So glad you’re taking care of yourself, and featuring one of my favorites 💟!
This video was amazing!!!! And you were really great!!!! She was definitely super cool. I had no idea! Thank you
I love this video so much! It was so positive, uplifting and inspiring. I would love more positive black icon stories, but more positive stories in general would be amazing.

This was wonderful, i always heard she ended life destitute so THIS account was FANTASTIC to hear!!!
I was just thinking YESTERDAY how much I missed you and this series! So happy to see this upload 💜
I just saw you on Snapchat talking about your eye color & how people have so many opinions. Let me tell you something. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL!!!😍😍😍 You would be with brown eyes, blue eyes, green eyes, purple eyes, ANY COLOR! You’re gorgeous either way & I’m pretty sure some of those haters are JUST JEALOUS!! Jealousy is one the the #1 reasons there are haters.
Love the look, LOVE the video, loooooove seeing you again! I never knew anything about Josephine Baker except that she was a performer and dang, she actually is the coolest! Thank you for sharing all this!
Hi.
Josephine was a freakin BAD ASS 😍❤️🙏🏽
Also - you’re stunning. As per usual but still. 🔥🙌🏽🤍
Missed you. Glad you're back. I love learning from Makeup and History.
Lol maybe it's bc i'm spanish so i obviously know well about picasso but i find it funny how americans always seem to think he lived in the 1800s or something haha. He was a cubist, ain't that like a very modern painting style? (well, it's a 100 years old now lol) Also, his most famous painting is about the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939)! Loved the video, loved Josephine's story. She truly was THAT girl!! xoxo
Didn’t want this video to end :( I’m so happy she had a happy ending in a sense…she was an angel. Please do more pure souls in this series!!
Another great video! Welcome Back!!!!! Boy have I missed you! Glad to see you are well my friend! This has made my entire weekend!
She was overly amazing. How can someone top her?! I loved this one. Best one yet Cydnee! She is seriously just my favorite woman now. She just gets more amazing with every sentence.
