There is a misnomer that fashion and fashion models are re-known for their beauty. Alas, it is not the physical beauty of the individual that captures the attention of world, although physical beauty helps. Instead, it is the confidence of the model, the feeling of being beautiful that causes the individual to be a model.
With the fashion world always been on the edge of a revolution and culture, it is little wonder that as minorities, especially black men and women, are becoming the hot thing in the fashion world. This has everything to do with the growing confidence in the different minorities and in the black community. This causes more individuals in the community attempt modeling and enjoy the confidence needed to become a successful model.
There are a lot of reasons for this increased confidence level in black models. The number one reason is the moving away from the victim stance that has previous afflicted the community. This has caused more people to become responsible for their actions and create an image of success and beauty within themselves. This leads to a higher level of confidence and a more beautiful individual.
Don’t believe me? Think about it. Do you remember seeing a shy, scared or envious model? Do you know of a model that would rather hide than stand up and be noticed? Have you ever seen a person who did not want to be seen? If you want further convincing, watch “What Not To Wear” and look at the “normal” people that they work with. Yes, the clothing changes, but the major reason that that these people look better, black or white, is that they are more confident in themselves.

Washington DC – The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, representing Flight Attendants at United Airlines and 20 other carriers, issued the following statement in unity from the union’s International Officers: President Veda Shook, Vice President Sara Nelson and Secretary-Treasurer Kevin Creighan.
“Ten years after September 11th emotions still run deep. We are grateful to our President and all of the women and men who are responsible for bringing this sense of justice for our friends and heroes who were the first to give their lives in defense of our country that day.
“September 11th showcased the tremendous bravery of Flight Attendants. Our heroes on those four fateful flights acted as first responders. They relayed the first intelligence of the day that served to alert our country and our fellow crewmembers on flight 93 who in turn acted without reservation against evil, sacrificing their own lives to protect our country and lives of countless others.
“The incredible pain of mourning for our dear friends also inspired new actions of heroism as our profession changed forever. In our Flight Attendant union we found comfort in one another and the courage to get back on airplanes to usher passengers and fellow crewmembers home to their loved ones.
“Every day since September 11th, Flight Attendants go to work with an even greater sense of responsibility. We know that not only are we first responders to emergencies affecting the health and safety of our passengers and other crewmembers, we are also our nation’s last line of defense in aviation security.
“We have escorted hundreds of thousands of American soldiers on their way to fight for our country – and it is painful to know that we have not been able to bring all of them home again. Those who have returned home with us from war are our most precious passengers and we owe them and their families our undying support and love.
“The hateful coward is dead. It is not his death that we celebrate; it is our unity, our compassion for one another and our resolve to protect all of the freedoms of individual expression that make us strong. We will never forget our heroes and we will always seek to honor their sacrifice with our actions – not only through our work for safer skies, but in the way we contribute to each of our communities at home and those that we visit around the world.
“Twenty-five Flight Attendants died on September 11th. Today, and every day, we honor their memory. We will never forget:”
