What Diversity and Inclusion in Modeling Means to 9 Victoria's Secret Angels

“I’ve been saying to everyone how amazing it is that I am looking around and seeing all of my friends — and girls I haven’t even met yet. They’re all so diverse, and I love that. Also while I prefer my hair straight, I love that they’re supporting us wearing our hair natural because a lot of shows before — especially high-fashion — prefer when girls straighten their hair. It can damage it a lot. It adds to beauty ideals, too. A lot of black girls or mixed girls feel like they have to have a certain look, like Eurocentric. At least for me, growing up, I felt like I should have straight hair, and I still kind of feel it because I have been brought up that looking that way is beautiful.”
