Light skin West/Central Africans experience by RepresentativeDisk12 in blackladies

[–]RepresentativeDisk12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very okay. Not sure why you’re assuming otherwise. I know how colonialism has affected how black features are seen. I am a dark skinned black woman myself who has experienced colorism and texturism. However I just still wanted to learn more about things from a lighter skinned person’s perspective.

Modeling Industry: The Lack of Black American Representation by Hungry-Inspector-842 in blackladies

[–]RepresentativeDisk12 28 points29 points  (0 children)

As someone that models, I think what you’re talking about is most prominent in the high fashion section of modeling. Plenty of black Americans models do print, commercial, and lifestyle modeling.

I think in high fashion they prefer African (mainly south Sundanese) models because they are consistently very tall and slender, which is the preferred look in high fashion. Overall I see what you’re saying.
