@freemo Frankly it would be better if they updated the depiction to reflect the real-life Jemima later in life, who went on to make millions of dollars off the product and earned her way out of slavery.

It would be a nice uplifting message praising an African-American success story and removing the negative stereotype of the current version, while retaining the original icon that is #AuntJemima

@realcaseyrollins
Considering it is just a picture of a black lady how could they do that in the photo (which seems to be little more than her portrait). Give her a gold chain and other bling? Lol

@freemo Haha I would change her clothes a bit to make them a bit more modern...then perhaps change the logo to give her some gray hair? That's all I can think of atm
