It's Time to Redefine the Color "Nude"

If you ask any woman of color, they will tell you finding a bra that matches their skin tone is no easy feat. In fact, there's been an industry-wide oversight when it comes to providing nude products for anyone who is not white. 


The issue is not limited to undergarments — everything from foundation to band-aids have been subjects of criticism. A #NudeAwakening, launched by frustrated twitter users, even prompted Merriam-Webster Dictionary to redefine the meaning of the word to be more inclusive [1].

Rae Wynn Grant and Alex Sutty are amongst entrepreneurs trying to expand the definition of the term nude with their inclusive lingerie line called Buff You Intimates [2]. We caught up with them to hear their thoughts on the issue.
