She is often turned down for black modeling jobs because the clients think she’ll photograph “ too w h ite .” Bernadette Swann says she’s tired o f ‘ ‘ lig h t skinned models being ignored” and ‘‘light-skinned people being slighted.” She is also tired o f “ these terrible conflicts blacks have among themselves . . .because you’re a light-skinned woman (people think) you have it easy . . . i struggle too.” Sale ends W ed ., July 7th Your Northwest Dealer for Revlon, "Polished Ambers” and Zuri Cosmetics.
