Could Naomi Campbell Have A Point?

Super model Naomi Campbell recently speaks out about major companies refusing to use women of color to promote products. She alleges this action is comparable to returning to the days of the past.

“This year, we have gone back all the way that we had advanced,” she says. “I don’t see any black woman, or of any other race, in big advertising campaigns.”

Campbell even points out that the recession may even work against women of color.

“That made some noise, but, unfortunately, we are the same as before,” she says. “People, in the panic of the recession, don’t dare to put a girl of colour in their campaign, full stop. Nor of any other race. It’s a shame. It’s very sad.”

Naomi Campbell is voicing her opinion of the industry, but because she works in this industry it may hold some truth.
