A little girl named Lola and her mother, Cristi Smith-Jones, went to great lengths to dress up the youngster in great costumes honoring iconic black women every day of February to celebrate Black History Month.

These photos are from 2017, but they’re still a very powerful statement three years later.

Let’s take a look.
