VOICED: Brazilian models see diversity on the runway

The video discusses the disparity between the fame of Brazilian models like Gizele Bution and Jesus Luz and the reality of racial demographics in Brazil, where half the population is of African descent. It highlights the challenges faced by black Brazilian models, the introduction of a quota system requiring 10% of models to be black, and the criticism that this is insufficient. Anti-discrimination groups call for broader inclusion of black professionals in the fashion industry. Despite some progress, Brazil still faces significant challenges in achieving racial equality.
