But Johnson writes that racism and exclusion still loom large in the industry, and she proposes steps toward changing the system.

Johnson adds that because of her race, she was paid less than her white peers. And when she tried to request Black photographers, makeup artists and hairstylists for photo shoots, she was reprimanded. She adds that Wintour, arguably the most powerful person in the world of fashion, has enough power to"ostensibly allow her to hold her peers in fashion accountable for making structural changes."

"Year after year, companies inflict harm against black culture while actively gouging it for inspiration and taking all of the profit," Johnson says."I want to move from being an icon to an iconoclast and continue fighting the racism and exclusion that has been an ugly part of the beauty business for far too long.
