"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.
