After Alton Sterling was murdered by police last summer, Ebonee Davis wrote a letter to the fashion industry highlighting the duty fashion media has to help change the perception of black people.

Ebonee Davis is a Seattle born author, model, actor and filmmaker. In an effort to push her social activism past words into action, Davis has put an emphasis on making time to give back to the communities that she inhabits. 

When I look back on my time in fashion, I realize that if it were not for my mistreatment as a Black model, I would not have the platform to inspire other young women of color to be their authentic selves and to love themselves despite living in a society that constantly reaffirms our inadequacy.
