Why must a person apologize constantly for her skin colour? It seems the modelling industry still has that thing against dark people…
Top South Sudanese model Nykhor Paul, 25, has taken to social media to rant about unprepared make-up artists at top fashion shows who fail to accommodate for the needs of those with darker skin tones.
The model in an Instagram post blasted the fashion industry for considering the needs of ‘white girls’ but ignoring others, forcing her to carry around her own products. It is not the first time the 5ft 11in African beauty has spoken out about the inequality she has faced, having previously said that we ‘need more models of color in the fashion world’.
In her rant, she also stated that anytime she has to work at a major world fashion week, this make-up artists issue pop ups. Upset about this treatment she faces, Nykhor added that she’s ‘tired of complaining’ and ‘super tired’ of apologising for her blackness.
