Pretty Black Women

Vanessa Carter was a highly intelligent and beautiful African American businesswoman, but she was also the ex-wife of the president of a major corporation. Trustworthy, suave, and self-centered, she was raised in Atlanta and deeply connected to southern culture. Vanessa had a close-knit relationship with her younger brother who looked up to her. She enjoyed jazz music and cooking gourmet meals but disliked cold weather. She spent a year studying abroad in Paris, which greatly influenced her business approach.
