This is an older but great video of Beth Ann Hardison who leads a wonderful discussion on racism in the fashion industry (Included on the panel is the Lovely Tracy Reese & in the audience Michaela Angela Davis). Beth is a beauty mogul and an inspirational beauty that we all should know, even if we are not into fashion. She is also the mother of "a Different Worlds" Kadeem Hardison. She has become a major inspiration to ymib and we look forward to her future documentary entitled "Invisible Beauty", which is "a proposed documentary that tells the story of black fashion models and their relationship to the fashion industry."
"This documentary will be upbeat and fast-paced, showing the glamour associated with the fashion industry and all that it attracts. It will include both celebrities and image-makers. Some of the most beautiful and exotic women in the world will tell their life experiences in the world of fashion, starting with Dorethea Towles, who went to Paris and in the 1950s and worked in the cabinet for Christian Dior, Schiaparelli and Balmain. It will go on to include Helen Williams (a top model in the early 1960s), Beverly Johnson, Grace Jones, Pat Cleveland, Naomi Sims, Iman, Veronica Webb, Naomi Campbell, Tyra Banks, male model Tyson Beckford and many others each providing insights and a better understanding of what the public sees in magazines and on television. These glamorous and not so glamorous stories will bring us to Alek Wek, Oluchi, and Liya, the current black faces accepted by the fashion design world today."
