Hidden racism: I'll always be the only black model in the fashion arena.

I can almost be called the only African-American model on the field. --Precious Lee

The name of a mannequin, you are no longer treated as a real person, you are just a carrier of clothing or makeup or hair, and these actions are sometimes even like sexual harassment, when the other side wanted me to be able to show a convex appearance, so I grabbed my nipples, and said: "You see, we need it hard." 」

Because there is no such person in this circle, I have played a role in the hope that through myself, I will open up more dollars and put aside the biased dialogue. "All the way, defying the eyes of the world, her beauty to let society see," My disability is very obvious. People sometimes see my disability first rather than see me as the "man", sometimes I would rather people ask questions that make them uncomfortable, because those are the things I face every day, better than people guessing on me, 100 times times more awkward than those uncomfortable problems. 」
