我记得我搬到了巴黎 做了一名模特
I remember moving to Paris, working as a model.
整个世界只有一份工作合同在等我
There was only one contract in the whole world that was available.
它赢得很艰难 为此我进行了很多竞赛
It was hard won and there was a lot of competition for it.
它也是一种非常令人激动的感受 因为它就像 好吧 不同肤色的女人将会
It was also really exciting feeling because it’s like, ok women of color will continue
在其模特生涯中持续获得令人梦寐以求的合约
to have contracts which is the thing that everyone hopes for out of their modeling career.
事实上 我面临的最大的障碍之一就是找到适合自己的化妆品
One of the biggest obstacles I faced actually was finding makeup that worked for me.
我必须很快地熟悉巴黎
I had to very quickly become familiar with all the theatrical stores that were in Paris,
还有罗马以及米兰的剧院商场 以便找到适合我皮肤的粉底
and Rome and Milan so that I could go and find foundation that matched my skin, and
我工作的时候必须带着这些粉底
I had to bring my foundation to work with me.
现在我真的可以很自豪地说 当我的孩子们看到像艾伦·德杰尼斯勒 奎因·莱媂法女皇
Now I’m really proud to say that my kids see faces like Ellen Degeneres, Queen Latifah,
以及查尔斯·詹姆斯的脸时
Charles James.
他们会知道各种体型 尺寸 年龄以及取向的美感
They know beauty in all shapes, sizes, ages, and orientations.
我的孩子从来不知道还会有这样的时候 那时你必须去剧院商场去找一个粉底
My kids will never know a time when you had to go to a theatrical store to find a foundation
去搭配你的皮肤
that matched your skin.
