Pauline Long's Birthday Fundraiser Dinner In Aid Of Seirra Leone's Post War Amputees
Last Friday I attended my friend Pauline Long's charity fundraising dinner and birthday party in aid of post war amputees and their children in Sierra Leone. Pauline is BEFFTA Awards founder and patron for the charity Melqosh Mission International who do an amazing job providing care and basic needs for the amputees. It was a wonderful night and guests were treated to dinner, fashion shows, live music and lyrical poetry. There was also an auction for CNN Hero and Girl Child Network founder Betty Makoni's book "Never Again". Giving back to great causes in our community is always worthwhile.

Naomi Campbell On Racism In Fashion
"It's disappointing that they still think before booking models of colour," she told Sky News. "It shouldn't be that way in this day and age. Having read a few articles recently about models of colour and diversity, it's been very disappointing. And I feel to have been modelling for 27 years and to be reading this, of what casting directors and what designs think of booking models of colour - it's absolutely appalling."
Bravo to Naomi for tirelessly speaking out on this issue. Maybe one day the industry will not have to think twice about booking a model of colour.
