L’Oréal Paris is a brand that’ has been committed to empowering every woman to know their worth. That is why it makes a perfect sense that the organization named French Model and activist Cindy Bruna as their new spokesperson.
“I feel so proud!” she said of the brand’s relationship. “It’s always hard to believe! Its been a fantasy forever. I’m excited to be the new face of such an iconic brand from my home country as a French model.”
Born in 1994, Cindy Bruna took the world of fashion by storm and does not hesitate to speak up for Black women’s inclusion on the runway.
Over the course of her career, the new spokesperson from L’Oréal Paris spoke at shows where untrained stylists were unable to deal with textured hair when it comes to hair prejudice behind the scenes. Also, she was one of the first women to display her beautiful Afro on the runway.
“Diversity is what is perfect for me and we should accept that, “ she shared in a tweet. “ Owning our differences and converting them into assets, because they are exactly what they are.”
But this is not where her advocacy ends. The half Congolese, half Italian beauty joined Solidarité Femmes in 2018 as an activist, a French organization that works with domestic abuse survivors. She will also consult on her Stand Up program with L’Oréal Paris, which provides awareness programs and provide all the necessary information on how to intervene in street violence.
Welcome to the L’Oréal Paris family, Cindy!
