I Stopped Buying Racist Magazines!

from On The Town with Tanya · host Tanya Rochester Cooper

On The Town Host, Tanya use to be a 1980's model, combating racism that still exist today. Shout out to Vogue Magazine as Tanya vowed in the 1980's to NEVER purchase any fashion magazine that did not have black models in their beauty ads AND on the runway! Models like Naomi Simms, Beverly Johnson paved the way for the first runway and Vogue model.  During Tanya's time, it was Ms. Naomi Campbell, Veronica Webb, Karen Alexander, Sheila and Beverly Johnson, BethAnn Hardison, Wanakee, Moonia, Lou Sierra, Grace Jones, Cathy Belmont and many others who worked but rarely got campaign ads as designers felt advertisers would not take out ads with brown girls, they were wrong, billions of dollars wrong, black folk buy fashion! For your kids sake do not buy any magazine watch any movie or show that does not have ALL colors in it. I kept my promise Vogue, I paid $9.99 for this September edition and its worrrrkkkkkking! thank you! (now if you ever do a shoot with 80's Could Have Beens"...call ole girl up)...
