If you want to do film a documentary about Asians, you film Asians right? If you want to dig deep into the lives of Hispanics, you would go talk to Hispanics rights? If you wanted to shoot a movie all about Europeans you would probably grab some Europeans correct? So why when it’s time to do a photo shoot celebrating African Queens, did Numero grab a 16-year-old white girl?
The March edition of Numero, which is a very popular international magazine, features an editorial spread titled “African Queen.” The only problem is, the model herself isn’t African at all.
There are tons of black models waiting for their chance in an industry that is predominantly run by Caucasians or mixed women, and the one photo shoot that would have been a black model’s time to shine was given to a white teenager.
Ondria Hardin, the young model who posed for the not so “African Queen” shoot, was covered in black face and black body as she was given the duties of trying to bring forth the African spirit.
