Ever wonder why Naomi Campbell has continued to prowl the catwalks long after most of her O.G. supermodel pals have retired their stilettos?  Our favorite temperamental diva, now 38 years old (and looking FAB, we should add), says that she’s sticking around because she’s concerned about the lack of Black faces in the fashion industry.  Naomi’s been gracing magazines covers and couture catwalks for nearly 20 years now (WOW!)– an amazing feat for models these days.  But in that period of time, she’s seen very few other Black models make it big in the industry, and that concerns her.

 But Campbell is determined to stick around — for a little while longer at least.   She told Reuters recently, “…I worry for the girls [of color] after me for the opportunities they get—the way they get treated.  And this is one of the reasons I still do what I do.”   

Keep it up Naomi!  As long as you don’t throw any cell phones in our direction, we’ll love you forever!
