Itās the melanin for meeee!
Shoutout to my Converge Media family. Itās been so much fun over the last year learning from them, and simply representing for every little girl that looks like me.
Recently, Converge Media set up a āQueens of Convergeā photoshoot with myself, Traeanna Holiday, and Juila Jesse. Check out part of my feature below and click here to learn about Traeanna Holiday, and Juila Jesse.
āThereās not a lot of [black women] out here,ā Besa Gordon said. āWhen youāre in media and you look like myself, it can be very discouraging seeing a lot of racially ambiguous women on TV. To see someone like myself, who looks like the black girl from the CD (Central District), itās amazing.ā
Gordon also appreciates her position as a role model to black girls looking to follow in her footsteps.
āWhen you see it, itās like āmaybe that could be me in the futureā,ā Gordon said. āAt least the option is there once you see it already being done. If you donāt see it being done, it makes it feel like itās not possible.ā
