The point of this photo shoot was to show that black women (darker skinned black women in particular) can achieve the same "looks" and convey the same emotions as white women. If you read the article she said that when she interviews with different modeling agencies she has been told that they already have their one or two black girls. So yes she is trying to drum up business, but not just for herself but for other women of color also. I think there is better motivation for this photo shoot than the outrageously provocative outfits that white celebrity women wear all the time just to get noticed and make more money.

So, when you interview for a job, you are not pushing your own quals, but trying to tell the employer how great other folks in your ethnic group are? Or, maybe to be really pure in your motives, you'll just work for free? Of course, she is promoting herself -- there is nothing wrong with that. But she is also trying to break down barriers for other models of color. There's nothing wrong with that either. One can simultaneously promote oneself and try to expand opportunities for others. Those are not mutually exclusive goals.

Yes I feel the same. She's just exposing her professional book on internet to get attention (and a work). I don't like the fact she just copy existing pictures rather than make new ones.

This was an article about an African woman modeling. Seriously, it's for fun, no need to be so angry over "not being hired." Just enjoy the beauty. For example, I didn't get chosen for president, so I'm being discriminated agains. Nobody cares about a little Korosensei here, based on that logic.
