In 2019, Marcellas published the Supreme Models: Iconic Black Women Who Revolutionized Fashion, the first- ever art book celebrating top black models to international acclaim, topping multiple Bestsellers and Best Of lists.

Supreme Models features more than 70 women from the last 75 years. Supreme Models pays tribute to black models past and present: from the first to be featured in catalogs and on magazine covers, like Iman, Beverly Johnson, and Donyale Luna, to the supermodels who reigned in the nineties—Tyra Banks and Naomi Campbell. The book also observes the newest generation of models—Adwoa Aboah, Jourdan Dunn, and Joan Smalls. They are shaking up the fashion industry by speaking out about racial prejudice and becoming social media sensations.

Hot on the heels of the success of Supreme Models comes Supreme Actresses, the first-ever art book dedicated to celebrating Black actresses. From Hattie McDaniel, the first actress of color to win an Academy Award in 1939, to Dorothy Dandridge, the first actress of color to be nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards in 1954. And from Diahann Carroll, the first African American actress to star on a television sitcom, to Cicely Tyson, the first African American star of a TV drama. The performances by these talented actresses are ingrained into our memories. But how did they begin their acting careers, and who were the first Black actresses who paved the way? Supreme Actresses celebrates the groundbreaking women who have been influencing culture for decades, reshaping the very standards of beauty in modern society.
