My goals are reflected in this short story........A very sad tale............... Ive been working to put my foot in the door since 99 and have been continuously told this isn't the business for me as a black woman. I was told by my instructor in modeling school to get an operation to shave my hips down so my butt will flatten. Every casting is "lose ten pounds". From where? I know I can portray anything and everything a high fashion model does, its hard to swallow not even being given the chance. How do I show the agencies my potential when I only get the opp. to shoot with pros if Im already established. I along with many many aspiring models do not have the money or the position to change the industry to be more accepting. Its like waiting for someone to have the balls to give me a chance. My goals are obviously to SMASH the barriers that are put up against me. God give me strength.
