Black Beauty
Growing up, she, like many others, had always dreamed of seeing her face on billboards and magazine covers. Dreams filled with a super model’s reality; runways, cameras, lights, glitz, glamour, sights but with each passing day, this dream lost colour. Dreams once filled with lights, slowly became as dark as the colour of her skin [...]
