In a recent survey carried out by the Black Beauty Roster, we found out that:

97% of black models have had to do their own hair while on-set because the hair stylist wasn't equipped to do it.
83% of black models have been asked to come to set with their hair prepped and “ready to go”.
77% had to do your own makeup on-set because the artist didn't have the right products for their skin tone.

THIS ISN'T RIGHT!

Mame is referencing an Open Letter to the Fashion Industry (< click to read) which she wrote and published on Medium.com in June of 2020, as a response to the attention that #BlackLivesMatter initiatives were finally getting, following the murder of George Floyd.
