Token

As of lately I have been doing contributing writting for Our Weekly newspaper in Los Angeles.

Fashion writting of course. In our of our last issues I discussed the lack of color on the runways. The disappearance of Black Models. In such a beautiful industry, we are missing a beautiful people.

I pulled this short film from Essence this morning. It touches on the issue and gives insider opinions on what agencies are looking for, and why Black models arent chosen as often.....

"They are looking for white girls dipped in chocolate"
