NO BLEACHING ALLOWED: FASHION WEEK BANS MODELS WHO BLEACH Their SKIN

  This is the kind of news that gives you hope in the reversal of our collective self-destruction. Adama Ndiaye–aka Adama Paris–has become my new idol. She is the founder of Dakar Fashion Week in Senegal and during the recent opening  declared that she had banned skin-bleaching models from the week-long event. 

This is what I call real revolution. Creating our own platforms and making our own rules.

It seems that those who use the pills versus the creams see more believable results. And are probably more likely to get cancer or have heart problems.

The most interesting thing to me about skin bleaching is that this is a verb that can not effectively be used in past tense. Did you know? Skin bleachers have to continue the process for life because when they stop using the creams, their skin takes on an even darker complexion than what it was to begin with. 

“I am against it,” said Adama Ndiaye, better known as Adama Paris, who started the annual fashion fete in 2002.

Ndiaye announced at the opening of Dakar Fashion Week that she had banned any models using skin depigmentation cream from participating in the six-day event.
