Gabourey Sibide covers the October issue of ELLE magazine however critics are complaining that the cover was Photo-shopped in order to make Gabby look lighter.
But a writer regarding the cover photo went on to say this; “cropping Sidibe’s cover photo so close” in order to hide her full-figured body, which the writer called a “travesty” is a bit over the top.
“There’s something off in Sidibe’s cover photo. Sidibe’s skin is noticeably lighter than usual. Elle clearly couldn’t handle Sidibe’s real skin color, and traded away her actual color for something dramatically lighter.”
I guess the dark skin and full figure woman is still an ignorant issue that writers like myself still need to address. I vehemently dispel the ignorance that keeps us prejudice as a unique race of people, with a coalition of color.
If a full figure European woman can make the covers of magazines every day, let’s celebrate the fact that a full-figured young black woman can as well.
Go Gabby!!!!
