In its combination of blaxploitation and melodrama, "Mahogany" empowered Rayman to pursue his dreams as a black artist from Indiana back in 1975. Directed by Motown's producer Berry Gordy Jr. and with a stellar and very campy performance by Diana Ross, this today problematic movie has a lot of emotional value for the now successful interior designer based in New York.
