Even when I was a model with my bra and panties on for a Victoria’s Secret fashion show. Sure, I was stompin’, and I know guys were like, ‘Woo, look at Tyra.’ But I know that my body being thicker on that runway meant something. A lot of the things I did in my modeling career as a woman of color was part of that feminism -- of expanding the definition of beauty and making women feel beautiful, no matter what color their skin is.
“Right now, with women in power, and not apologizing for being strong or wanting to make money or to be on top, that’s my message -- and that’s all feminism,” Banks says. “I just feel like you should be able to have a fierce face at the same time.”
