  Who loves Naomi? WE DO! WE DO! Now, with that being said, can the industry show some love too? To other black models, we mean. Time and time again we see the push for diversity on the runway, but the lack of consistency behind it. We’d like an order of dark skin, with a side of light. Hell, give us some brown too. Treat yo’self. As an even bigger treat, we’ve curated a list of 50 our favorite models who, wait for it……. ARE BLACK! Let’s end the days of “we already have a black model” & begin the days where more than one black model on the runway is the norm.

“To give you context, most of the photographers who shoot major fashion editorials & campaigns are white & male. There are a select group of female photographers who are shooting high level projects but, as far as I know - none of them are black. The fact that I’m Black & Female & a Photographer, who’s main focus is on shooting Men (when most female photographers usually shoot other women), is incredibly significant. And the fact that I’m at the helm of My Own Magazine, that I’ve photographed 100% of the content for, & that will be competing on newsstands with the biggest fashion magazines being published today, is even more significant.”- Dana Scruggs
