I know we’re getting personal, but a you know, I was a
young girl.This is a what I would looked like my grandma
just a few month earler.Here’s me on a the same day
as the this shoot. My friend got to come with me.
Here’s me at a pajama slumber party a few days before
shoot I shot French Vouge. Here's me on a the soccer
team saccor and in Vmagazine,and here's me today.
And I hope what you are seeing that these pictures are
not pictures of me.They are constructions.
And they are constractions of my group by proffesionals
by hair stylist and make up artists,and photographers
and stylists, all of their assistants and post prodution and
they built this that’s out of not me.
Ok, so the next question people always ask me is
”Do you get free staff?” I do have too many 8-inch heels
which I never get to wear except for earlier,but the free
stuff that I get is that the free stuff that I get in real life
and that's what we don’t like to talk about.
I grew up in Cambridge, and one time I went into a
store that and I forget money and gave me the dress
for free.

When I was a teenager, I was driving with my friend,
she also who was an awful driver, and she ran read
of cource we got pulled over.and all it I took was sorry
officer, and we were on a way.I got these free things,
because of how I look,not who I am.

And there are people paying a cost for
how they look,and not who they are.
I live in Newyorl, and last year of the 140,000 teenagers
were arested stopped and frisked 86% of them were black
Lattino and most of them were young man.
And there are only 177thousand young black Lattino in New York,
So for them is it's not a question of will I get stopped,
but how many times do I get stopped or when I get stopped
When I was researching this talk, I found out that of the
13th years old girls of the United States, 53% don’t like
their bodyies. And the that number goes to 78%
by the time another that they are17.

So the last question people ask me is ,you know,what is
the it like to be a model?
And I think the answer that a they're looking foris if you
were are little bit skinnier, and you have shinier hair,
you will be so happy and faburous.
And one more back stage we given an answer that maybe
makes it seem like that we say it's really amazing to travel,
and it's amazing to get work with creative and inspired
passionable passionate people.And those things are true,
but they're only one half of the story,because
the thing that we never say on camera that I had have
never said on camera ,because is I’m not insecure.
