​Models of Color Matters is a conversation starter and an initiative to increase diversity and equity in fashion and media. We need to talk more about the underrepresentation of people of color in the media and fashion. Due to systematic racism and built in bias models of colors (BIPOC) tend to be overlooked for castings, modeling opportunities, and mistreated on sets and backstage in the modeling industry. We want to be a confidence booster, a safe place, a wealth of knowledge and a connector for fashionistas of color.
