Naomi Campbell covers Vogue, talks experience with racism and advocating for Black models

Naomi Campbell, who became the first Black woman to cover French Vogue in 1988, is speaking up about her decades long career of defying the odds and speaking up for others.

She also spoke about still being misunderstood, calling out the British media in particular.

“They haven’t learned how to be not-racist, period!” she said."I’d rather have racism be right in front of my face and know what I’m dealing with, than to have it suppressed. No disrespect to the country I was born in, but we need to dig it up and bring it up and deal with it. No more chucking it down the sides.
