God I love this woman. She's not like any other mua, she wants to talk about makeup but also about important things & on top of that she has a great personality... she's so underrated

[@ChloeRaeofSunshine]

2 million subscribers I wouldn't say "underrated"...

[@jessicaracquel269]

That subs. I say shes underrated. The brands owned of color could stand to collab with her more. And mainstream brands who value what she stands for could stand to repost her more. She is underated. Not by us the subs but by the ones who need her subs.

[@olalla74]

Jess Campbell that’s exactly what i meant. I just think brands should give her more recognition, because i feel like they don’t give her the recognition she deserves, i didn’t want to say that she isn’t doing great because i know she is

I love that someone is FINALLY speaking on the “instabody” I think that shape is so weird and unrealistic. It’s the photo shop body. I can’t stand that that’s the only shape up there for the thick women.

[@RayMichelle]

I agree

[@msoddballz5763]

Some of these women ain't even thick. No shade but these girls are manufactured and disproportionate.

[@logic7753]

Photo shop or surgery body.

[@saruniz]

Every time i see it, its like i think it looks weird... but at the same time it makes me feel bad about my own shape.

[@alexmiller6698]

Taylor Blackmon totally agree. It does my head in when you see bigger women in outfits but they have a flat stomachs and tiny waist but the rest of them is plus sized. To me that doesn’t make sense. If you are bigger chances are you have a tummy. Then you look at these women and think I’m curvy but I look horrendous in that outfit. It’s so toxic. Curvy comes in all shapes and sizes not in one narrow minded view of how curvy can be attractive and basically telling people that’s the only way curvy can be attractive. Fake body positivity. X

[@jess_isblessed]

But once you go to Fashion Nova Men's insta page, you see so many dark skin male models. It's ridiculously disproportionate when compared to Fashion Nova's main page. I guess dark skin men are more socially accepted than dark skin women smh.

[@sweethartia]

Yup! Everyone lovessss a chocolate man but hate dark women. Sickening

[@deeabee96]

Of course sis lol this society has affixed dark skin with masculinity and light skin with beauty and femininity. Which contributes to dark skinned women being overlooked and deemed unattractive 🤦‍♀️

[@leahludwig8928]

And dark skinned men are fetishized so often in so many industries, it’s disgusting.

[@tdagbo]

It’s because they fetishize black men. The only reason they post them

[@xonetra]

Jessica A yeah. Cause all those light skin women want a dark man.

The problem is not only Fashion Nova but the Shaderoom accepting their advertising when they are a black owned Instagram channel with a predominantly owned black audience. They shouldn't be posting their advertisements if they don't reflect their audience.

It would help if people stopped talking about colorism is vague terms. Just call colorism colorism. An honest conversation involves saying "you do not post deep brown and dark skinned women". If you use "women of color" then we open ourself up to being gaslighted. That's why saying things like "we are all black" is not helpful. Much love.

“Women of colour” is a trash term that needs to be thrown out. “Of colour” is a jim crow term that refers to minorities- which is literally anyone who is non-white.

Fashion nova does post “women of colour” just not the ones who look too black or far from Eurocentric. I agree that they are colourist but that youtuber executed those emails SO poorly.

@@arianahjanae1914 I realize this is 4 months old but I wanted to point out that the reason Forever 21 crashed is because they majorly expanded with their stores not considering that more stores equals more money towards providing clothing to those locations as well as building rental, payment to the delivery drivers who bring shipments to stores, pay for all the employees, ect. And on top of that they have to keep up stock for all online orders. Fashion Nova may be getting big, but they have enough common sense not to open a ton of stores at once because of it.

[@sarahdavies2923]

[@arielrodriguez8247]

I feel like mostly everyone is starting to morph into one look. Like majority of these people are starting to look THE exact same. And brands are feeding into that. And feeding into the fact that surgeries + cosmetics + editing are sooooo accessible/ overly used right now. It’s becoming creepy. Aunt Jackie spoke nothing but facts in this video, y’all can be mad if you want but it’s true 😂

[@ClaireAKokE]

Soo creepy and bad and brewing all kinds of self consciousness in young girls.

[@arielrodriguez8247]

ClaireAKokE YES. The next generation of girls are becoming so self conscious and so image oriented and these brands are literally preying on that. It makes my stomach churn.

[@KiimKash]

I agree, Ariel. I can’t wait to see what the “normal body” will look like in 10 years.

[@arielrodriguez8247]

Alexandra Nicole honestly! Nobody is an individual anymore, it’s so sad. There’s a never ending cycle of comparison to the next person, it’s so damaging.

[@MrJaggadaku]

As a young female I’ve been waiting for someone with a platform to say something about this issue. And I’m so glad you did. I felt like everyone thought it was acceptable. I’ve started going to the gym and subconsciously trying to follow a body type like the ones on that site. Thank you for being the voice of young girls like me.

[@supshweta]

it's extremely commendable how you always stand up for what you believe in, voice your opinion on important issues, and never compromise your integrity! ilysm !!!

[@LadyHunBun]

as a light skin woman I never thought you were coming for us, we have it soooo much easier and have sooooo much more representation and it straight up doodoo, you cant claim to post woc if you dont post women of all colors, I super appreciate you being clear that you werent coming for us but let me tell you that you didnt come off like you were, you were clear about what the issue is and I appreciate it.

[@r0sebud91]

I love these “hey guys, we’re gonna have a chat and do our makeup together!” Voicing your opinions and concerns while you’re on such a large platform is difficult but I love how you stick to your guns and express yourself so concisely. Keep it up!! ❤️

[@nellao4536]

Wow, those emails were certainly proof in the puddin'. They were dismissive and company tried to twist things around to make the influencer look like SHE was the one with a problem. The nerve! Their attitude was "well we have enough of your people buying our clothes so your little comments are irrelevant"

[@jessicah2o123]

I think the influencer that emailed them should have been more specific and said “dark skinned women” because “women of color” just means (not white) I thought. Fashion Nova was able to make an excuse by saying that they do post women of color. We need more representation.

[@arielsmith9348]

These are the FACTS. Thank you for using (and risking) your platform to acknowledge them. It's needed.

[@iamieeesha9619]

That's so true and I will never purchase

[@em.415]

If a brand only has light skinned models, even if they are black, I decide to spend my money elsewhere because colorism against dark skinned women is important to me. We need to stop saying women of color and be direct. A near white looking person can be a person of color. Directly bring up dark skin. That’s the only way we can start genuine conversations about colorism.

[@moonpiemoonpie]

It's getting sad that, everyone keeps using the "women of color" term to cover up their Colorism. Just say no Dark Skin black women allowed and stop lying about who you promote. 🙄🙄🙄

[@dr-k1667]

If they could be that bold and honest... I think I would have respect for them not hiding who and what they are about, but then again that would take some type of integrity and honesty which you can see they have none!

[@Taradoesgames]

I think there’s a lot more to dark skin then just black women. I see that it’s a problem but we should all remember different races have different skin tones from light to dark or dark to light. I’m not trying to start anything but saying there’s more to this then just one race. Such as Philipinos they are very dark and beautiful or someone of the mixed aztec and Mayan people in mexico and Central America.

[@Hyxnjxn]

Dark skin is in every culture. Clearly it’s not just black women, but it’s dark skinned Hispanics and Latinos, dark skinned Indians, native Americans, dark skinned Asians etc. No one of dark skin across the board wasn’t getting recognition people with dark skin exist in every culture and every culture their dark skinned people are over looked

[@16ShiningUmbreon]

But to make things worse, their examples of "women of color" were medium toned at best. Where is the color??

[@Loveeveryone1168]

Jackie is truly a force to be reckon with in the beauty community. These companies need to recognize..

[@bluereign]

*Jackie's at it again! Word of the day integrity. Do you stay silent and accept the cheques or do you discuss your concerns in the hopes of making positive change? In many cases silence makes us complicit. We must never be afraid to discuss these issues.*

[@jackieaina]

as an ambassador I really tried to open the dialogue and have the awkward conversation with them hoping it would make a difference and it failed

[@bluereign]

@@jackieaina Don't see it as a failure. That experience brought you to this point making this video which will inspire many. You spoke up, you made your concerns known. On looking at the comments it seems you gave a voice to the concerns many of us had, now they are speaking up. Companies will think twice before ignoring our legitimate concerns if they can't bank on our silence. You shone your light now others feel comfortable doing the same that's a positive result. Keep shining!

[@rosabetances6098]

I'm very impressed with the way you articulated your message, and most importantly with your stance on supporting companies that don't represent who you are and look like, even if that means that you are losing a paycheck because of it. Representation is very important for the children of tomorrow, and by doing this you are part of the solution to a more inclusive better tomorrow. Thank you, and much respect. We need more people like you taking a stance for what is right just like many of our ancestors did and died for.✊🏼

[@jamilania9230]

YESS!!! I love straight up and polite conversations. Don't beat around the bush. WOC is used too loosely SOMETIMES and as we just saw from the email, they took that term (WOC) and ran with it in their response.

[@selalewis9189]

This is becoming a larger political and social problem, with the term “people of color” or “women/men of color”. It’s a double-edged sword. On one hand, it unites people who have common experiences around being nonwhite (Black, Asian, Latinx). But on the other side, these umbrella terms hide how they privilege people within that grouping. In this case, the term “women of color” benefits lighter-skinned women, while darker skinned women essentially don’t count. It allows brands and companies to keep their woke credentials without examine the larger problem of proximity to Whiteness as a privilege.

[@noeybaby23]
