Just because you are blind, and unable to see my beauty doesn’t mean it does not exist

This quote by Margaret Cho, is what the supermodel, Naomi Campbell wants to say right now. Racism is one such plague that we have been witnessing since many years in one or the other form. Every economy might have gained independence but discrimination on the basis of your skin tone exists now too. However, Naomi Campbell alleged that the world of fashion also believes in the same. Yeah! Straightforwardly, she said that racism as a practice does exist in this world of glamour also. As per her, designers and brands do prefer white models over black skinned models. To reform this horrific practice, the supermodel is keen to open her modeling agency in Kenya.

In a stark statement, exposing the fashion world, she said,

Black models are being sidelined by the major modeling agencies. It is a pity that people don’t appreciate black beauty. I even get a raw deal from my own country. For example, I hardly come on the front pages of London’s Vogue magazine. Only white models, some of whom are not as prominent as I am, are put on the front pages. I don’t want to quit modeling until I find that black models get equal prominence and recognition by the world media and information instruments.

She also plans to visit Narobi to find some young talent. The beautiful back lady is committed to establish them in the fashion world and make the world realize that ‘Black is indeed beautiful.’
