Sikolo Brathwaite

I am Sikolo Brathwaite who is the mom of two amazing children and four very special grandchildren.  Family both nuclear and extended is very important to me.

I am also the wife of the photographer Kwame Brathwaite who, because of his dedication to portraying our people as our natural, best selves, is referred to as “The Keeper of the Images”.

Because of my commitment we are honored with proclamations from both  New York City and the New York State assembly.

Upon joining the Grandassa models in 1966, it immediately became apparent that being a part of this organization would be a lifelong, life changing, lifestyle experience.

From its beginning, five years earlier, the Grandassa were, and we still are, dedicated to educating, affirming and uplifting our people.

I am, we are, the embodiment of a phenomenal people.
