We’re brilliant, create trends and can do anything we put our minds to. We’re even so dope that even when we didn’t invent colors, when we rock them, we can make you believe that we did.

So to celebrate our divine power and ability to rock the heck out a pigmented hue, here are 20 times that folks like Former First Lady Michelle Obama, Winnie Harlow, Janet Mock and more sistas owned the purple.

‘But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?” man answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”’- Genesis 3:9 - The Bible told me so. #effyourbeautystandards
