Legendary Beverly Johnson Not Happy About Lack Of Diversity

ARTICLE FROM s2smagazine.com (Full story click here)

beverlyjohnsonIf you are a fan of the fashion industry and is a minority you cannot help from noticing the lack of diversity in the industry. I am not a fan but I do notice the front of magazines in the fashion industry.

On the front of magazines sorry to say you barely see African American females and males on the front of magazines. The question is why? Is the fashion industry trying to say there is not beautiful black ladies and males around the world? What is the problem readers. Something is not right and it is very unfair because I know and many people know their are millions of nice looking people of color in the world.

Look at “Entertainment Tonight” and “The Insider” and “Extra” and “Inside Edition”. When they do stories on the fashion industry or even just plain stories on what is going on in entertainment it is like people of color are not in Hollywood or New York etc. Again something is very very wrong and a legendary fashion icon is upset.

Her name is Beverly Johnson who is one of first black females to be on the front cover of a fashion industry magazine back in the day. Johnson is speaking out on the lack of diversity in the fashion industry. And she has a point readers.

All you have to do is this. Next time you are in a grocery store or a place that sells magazines, take a look at the magazine section and count how many black females you see on the covers of fashion magazines. You will see very very few if any. So the icon Johnson is speaking out about the lack of diversity. And if anyone can speak out this topic it is Beverly Johnson. This is real.

It is sad here in 2014 that Ms. Johnson has to speak up about the lack of diversity but she feels she has to be a voice on this. Maybe another African American fashion icon, Tyra Banks can lend her voice to this topic. She is coming back to television with another talk show soon so hopefully the two fashion icons can discuss this situation on Bank’s new talk show.
