Model Leomie Anderson has panned an open letter to the Sunday Times in the UK about what it feels like to be a black model in the fashion industry and the overt and passive racism she experiences.
Anasema:
"I have been working as a model for more than 3years. I’ve been photographed for Italian Vogue, Dazed & Confused and ID. I’ve modelled at Paris, New York and London Fashion Weeks, but I haven’t done Milan Fashion Week. I’ve heard from other black models that it’s much harder to get work in Milan. The successful black girls don’t even bother travelling there for castings, because they know they won’t do as well, even if they’ve walked for great designers in all the other cities. Even people from Milan will say that the fashion market there is very behind. They’d rather stick with what they know.

Kwa ujumla mambo hayo yapo...ni uvumilivu tu!
kwanini umemjibu kihasira? (It is hard kama una straggle mwenyewe shosti. You need somebody wa kuku'represent kwenye hii industry! )
Hapana. Sijamjibu kihasira my dear. That's just the fact! She is in the business, she should know this.
