Those born between the dates of March 21 to April 19 are part of the Aries family. As one of the fire signs in the zodiac, Aries are bold, passionate and determined. Represented by the ram, Aries are known for their strength, similar to the animal’s unique horns. There are probably lots of Aries in your personal life, but there’s also a plethora of Black female Aries celebrities to know.
Dr. Maya Angelou
Dr. Maya Angelou is one of the most prominent figures in 20th century American history. Angelou, who passed away in 2014, was a beloved poet, memoirist and civil rights champion. As a child and during adulthood, the literary star faced a slew of challenges. But, like a strong Aries, she didn’t let these obstacles stop her. Angelou was vulnerable about her life experiences, which fueled her to create works including “I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings” and the famous poem “Still I Rise.”
Chaka Khan
Chaka Khan showcases a unique approach to singing, which earned her the unofficial name the “Queen of Soul.” Throughout her career, which spans over five decades, Khan has 10 Grammy Awards and countless hits. The songstress is also particularly popular because of her vocal range and talent, with the ability to sing multiple different genres. Khan’s debut solo single, “I’m Every Woman,” embodies her zodiac sign. It’s an energetic mantra that inspires women to be fearless, like Aries signs.
Jill Scott
Jill Scott is a special and soulful voice in the music industry. Scott combines her neo-soul lyricism with her genuine nature, which makes sense as an Aries. The songstress grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which earned her the nickname “Jilly From Philly.” In the music scene, Scott redefined soul, including unique aspects like spoken word, jazz, and even opera into her sound. Like most Aries people, the singer and actress is generally considered a positive, uplifting Black woman in the entertainment industry.
Tami Roman
Tami Roman is a television personality and host, who got her start on the 2011 reality show “Basketball Wives L.A.” There viewers were met with Roman’s larger-than-life personality, which was often fiery due to her Aries placements. Although the star departed from the show in 2019, she now hosts “Caught In The Act: Unfaithful.” The reality series helps people get clarity on their romantic relationships, especially if they suspect infidelity. Roman collaborates with couples therapists and more to help people heal.
Jazmine Sullivan
Perhaps the most obvious sign that points to Jazmine Sullivan being an Aries is her powerhouse voice. Sullivan’s talent is truly undeniable, which is probably why she’s a Grammy-winning R&B vocalist. One of her most popular songs, “Bust Your Windows,” perfectly encapsulates the rage Black women feel in toxic relationships. Mostly all of Sullivan’s music is profound and genuine.
Skai Jackson
As one of the youngest child stars to appear on Disney Channel, it makes sense why Skai Jackson is a trailblazing Aries. The actress first appeared in commercials before landing a full-time gig as Zuri on the Disney series “Jessie.” Even the character Zuri featured Aries characteristics: she was playfully fiery, charismatic and headstrong.
Halle Bailey
Halle Bailey is a singer and the other half of the singing duo Chlöe X Halle. Although Bailey’s been perceived as shy compared to her sister Chlöe, the truth is Halle has no issue dishing out her loud Aries side when necessary. In 2023, she donned red locs for the role of Ariel in Disney’s live-action remake of “The Little Mermaid.”
