Model Deddeh Howard sends diversity message by recreating famous photo shoots

[GeoWilliam750]

"Model Deddeh Howard has found a powerful way of highlighting the lack of diversity in her industry.
She's recreated famous models' photo shoots from recent advertising campaigns by putting herself in the place of the white models which they feature.
She's called the project Black Mirror, saying: "I hope to show the world that it is time for all of us being seen."
Deddeh says the project "would help all of us believing in our potential"."

1. Deddeh Howard is magnificent in many ways.

I am glad she is holding up the Black Mirror.

Growing up in Africa, I knew nothing about Black and White, we're all equal, it was United we stand! At least that's what my parents thought me and that's what I believe in. I believe we can be whoever we want to be, so don't let anyone tell you're not what you want to be. If they can do it! So can you. It's about time we stand up together..Dream and Believe. I'm personally fighting for more diversity especially more black models to be seen on bill boards, movies, TV commercials, advertisements etc for us all. #blackmirrow.
