Awad et al., (2015) conducted this study with the intended aim of answering four important questions concerning body image and beauty among African American (Black) women. The questions focused on issues and frequent themes associated with African American women’s body image and beauty, perceptions, sources of messages, and, the internalizing of these messages by African American women.

Using thematic analysis, hair, skin tone/colorism, body shape, and, message sources were identified as three of the most prioritized aspects of beauty and body image for Black women.
