I was honored to have been asked by author and celebrity stylist, Susan Moses to moderate a panel of distinguished panelists at the United Nations to discuss how the fashion and beauty industries and media can work together to continue the evolution of inclusivity and diversity. As a model for over ten years, I’ve seen the pendulum swing in the fashion industry to include a vast array people to best reflect the diversity in our country.

The day began with a runway show by Christian Siriano for Lane Bryant. If you haven’t seen his collection, run on over to any Lane Bryant store or visit www.LaneBryant.com to watch the entire line.
