When Naomi first appeared on the cover of British Vogue in 1987, she was the first Black model to appear there since 1966. She would go on to break ground for Black models on other magazine covers, but for a long time it seemed like there weren't many others to follow in her footsteps.
"Everyone used to think that you liked being the token Black person in the room," she told Andy."It’s absolutely the opposite. I never did." For years, Naomi was almost alone among elite supermodels in representing Black beauty. It's a problem she says stems from a need for"change from the boardroom to the seats. It needs to go right from the top."
While she's been championing these type of acknowledgements of systemic racism in her industry, among virtually all others, she is saddened at the high price that had to be paid in blood for the Black Lives Matter movement to begin to affect real change. "The way that it’s had to come out, for people to lose their lives, is very sad," she said, with words of condolences for the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and so many others."But this had to happen, this change had to happen."
