13405012, SO many Black faces in advertisements now......
Posted by FLUIDJ, Fri Sep-25-20 09:17 AM
We've noticed a marked increase in both print and digital which is so refreshing...

Got a Hanna Andersson flyer in the mail last week and I'm almost certain is the FIRST time I've ever seen a Black face in their catalogs......like...OBVIOUSELY Black...not just ambiguous-person-of-color-that's-likely-black-but-maybe-not-just-in-case... On multiple pages at that...

I've seen it on websites of all kinds of other brands too....

It's great and refreshing like I said...but...I can't help but wonder; did they just have these models on deck in the "reject" pile??

That's fcked up. How did they get all these new ad campaigns with Black faces shot so fast?? I always imagined it took quite a while...not to mention the hurdles of the pandemic.

I'd love to hear from these now featured models how long ago they shot the pics...also curious of they were adequately compensated..
