About The Cocoa Lounge:

The Cocoa Lounge celebrates Beautiful Black Women in Arts & Entertainment. The term 'beautiful' is not merely used to describe a physical characteristic but the resounding aura of a group of women who have accomplished greatness in the arts.

The History of The Cocoa Lounge

The Cocoa Lounge began in the Fall of 1999 when two artists and pop-culture fanatics realized that African American women were grossly under represented online.

The site began it's life at tripod, but as The Cocoa Lounge's popularity rapidly increased (as did it's bandwidth) in 2000 Cocoalounge.com was acquired and The Lounge's mission was solidified.

For years The Cocoa Lounge served as a reference place for visitors seeking information on Black Women in Film, Music, Fashion, Literature and more. From Hattie McDaniel and Zora Neale Hurston to Halle Berry and Serena Williams, The Cocoa Lounge left no stone unturned in it's efforts to celebrate the diversity of black women in entertainment.

The Cocoa Lounge took a hiatus as the creators delved into other artistic projects during which time, several other websites bearing The Cocoa Lounge name appeared. The original Cocoa Lounge made its return to the web in January of 2006.
