It’s been an eye opening week – a week where the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota has brought ripples of sadness and unrest across the world. A week in which powerful statements of “Black Lives Matter” and “We See You, We Hear You, We Stand With You” have come to the fore. A week where voices calling for racial justice are finally being heard.
At Husskie, we don’t pretend to understand it, to know what it feels like to be oppressed or to suffer from racism or abuse for the colour of our skin. But what we do know is that we are always of the belief that everyone should have the right to the same voice – whatever their colour, religion, or sex.
To acknowledge some of the incredible international women of colour, today we are shining the spotlight on 75 black fashion influencers that you should be following on Instagram. Not just because of the colour of their skin, but because of the aspirational and inspirational content they are creating. We see you.
