Shine bright like a diamond, shine bright like a diaaaaamond! NAH SON. Shine bright like a RUBY. While young women aspire to become an all around icon like Rihanna nowadays, the true icon, the ultimate baddie, the OG that everyone should idolize is the great Ruby Dee. Sadly, the actress passed away Wednesday at the age of 91. Not only was Ruby a phenomenal actress, starring in critically acclaimed films and series such as A Raisin in the Sun, Roots: The Next Generation, and American Gangster, she was also a poet, even winning a Grammy award for the Best Spoken Word Album in 2007, and an activist, fighting for civil rights alongside MLK during the sixties. Ruby Dee was the definition of a true badass and she will be greatly missed, but her legacy will carry on forever to serve as a beacon of light and inspiration for future generations of young independent women. Shine bright like a Ruby.
