Jourdan Dunn and Chanel Iman are two amazingly beautiful African -American supermodels and now, surprisingly good friends. Initially pitted against eachother by the media and modeling industry, they were made to look at each other as competition instead of as they were breaking racial barriers together. Similiar in incident to the past "beef" between Tyra Banks and Iman, they finally decided to stop fighting each other, because they found that that only made situations worse. Chanel said in the November Issue of Teen Vogue that , "The only way to improve the situation is to come together". And they did. They do thier best to make sure that black faces are seen in ads like Gap, Nieman Marcus , Victoria's Secret and H&M. They share the same idea that I do: when I open up a magazine, I should be able to see someone who looks like me in it. After all, I am a consumer too, and sellers must appeal to buyers. Iman and Dunn are two extraordinary women. They inspire and "wow" me.
