Everything has to do with education: If you educate the girls, you educate the family, the community, and society, in general.
From Alek Wek
I don't even know where to start in terms of people having such an issue about color, especially being dark. I just think on different levels it's ignorance; it's no belief, no confidence, it's insecurity, so you want to inflict it on somebody else.
When I started modeling, it was like, 'Oh, she's too dark,' and I kind of looked at them like, 'You're too daft.'
Black girls, I feel, rock, in so many ways, especially coming from five girls.
My mother always has embedded in us that you guys rock in different ways, and to be able to celebrate that with each other is just beautiful.
You could fancy what you'd like, but as a woman, my mother always raised us to believe in ourselves. I am very grateful that my mother brought me up that way.
I think beauty is not just about what we put on our heads or on our faces or what we wear: it's deeper than that, and if we can celebrate that, celebrate the women, not just the superficiality... I think it would be really gorgeous.
It's an awful feeling, being hungry.
Restaurants serve huge portions on even huger platters, and people are tempted to eat too much.
Many live to eat, instead of the other way around.
