For our December issue story, "Family Values: An Ode to Aunties and Their Inimitable Sense of Style," researcher and archivist Daniel Obaweya—also the steward of @nigeriangothic on Instagram, a tribute to Black pop-cultural history—compiled these images to hint at the depth and breadth of auntie style. His sources range from 1960s-era historical archives to @Tumblr, and showcase both traditional styles of African and Caribbean dress and the evidence of African-American influence.

As @aokeowo elaborates on the role of aunties in her life in our December issue: "Along with my mom, my aunties were visions of what life could look like when I eventually decided who I would be—a panorama of Black womanhood that included professionals, stay-at-home mothers, and the flyest 'spinsters' I had ever seen. And by virtue of the ease they had in their bodies, my aunties radiated an attitude of feeling good about yourself, especially the healthier and curvier you were, that predated the idea of body positivity. The lack of distinction between my 'real' aunts and my aunties was even more acute when my family visited Nigeria. There, every woman over the age of 25 in our social circles took it upon herself to act as my surrogate older sister, including one who saw no problem with reading my then-confidential diary. (There are few boundaries with aunties.) Aunties, I would later come to find out, are common not just among people I know from African communities but also Caribbean, South Asian, and Black American ones."
