We’ve been following Marquita Pring’s modeling career for a few years now and were excited to see that this year SI had multiple curvy black models join the ranks.
Marquita spoke to this issue of representation in a quote the magazine used to caption her photo on their page:
“For me being a part of this issue shows how much progress curvy women have made in this industry and I’m so proud to be a part of that growth. Growing up I had always fantasized about gracing these pages but it never once seemed like a possibility until the past few years. I‘m excited to be a part of such an iconic issue that has managed to evolve with the times. The fact that I can represent for curvy women of color is a dream come true, especially in 2020 when the world is waking up to the fact that black is beautiful and that we need more representation.”
