Just trying to phone home 👽 Obsesssed with these cute pics ❤️ I love when you guys make art with my photos. It makes me so happy 🥰 When I went back to Australia I was asked if I’d been out in the sun, to which I replied yes. When I asked why, I was told that on my headshot I looked like I had light olive skin, and I presented now as a light brown, which could be a problem for some clients who booked me thinking I was light olive 🙄 The reality is, I pick up colour wherever I go- even if I’m wearing SPF50+, and in the sun for five minutes or three hours, because I have it in my DNA. I used to try and be careful not to get too dark, but seriously if a client doesn’t want me when I’m dark then I don’t want to work with that client bc what are they saying to me about diversity. Byeee Mérida, even though I was just shooting, I definitely picked up some Mexican sun ☀️🇲🇽 I don’t mind working on a Sunday when I’m in sunny Mexico 🇲🇽 Diversity is empowering. It shows that every human being is worthy of being represented. By not including more diversity in LFW you’re basically saying that we are not worthy. By not making clothing past a size 12 you’re saying we’re not worthy. By not including more models of colour you’re saying we’re not worthy. When I look at a fashion campaign I want to feel empowered, I want to feel good about myself, and I want to feel represented. I feel the fashion industry has always been one of the front runners for societal change, shifts in attitudes and for inclusivity, yet why do I still not feel as included as I should be? If I’m feeling this way, how does the rest of the population feel!? Thank you @simplybeuk for including me in your protest this morning ❤️ #morethanourbodies #SimplyBe Clearly not taking today too seriously ❤️💘 Dedicating this V-Day to self love- treating and nourishing my body and mind with love and respect and that’s what really matters today ❤️
