We can’t quite say what’s more iconic: Beverly simplyfinally positioning an African-American woman as the aspirational “American look” for the first time in its editorial history. Why not both?
Everything — her pencil-thin brows, her feathery, blown-out bob, her subtle rouge lips — would become trends to watch in the following decade, as other iconic Black characters mirrored that image.1975: Transgender model Tracey “Africa” Norman is featured on the boxes of Clairol’s Born Beautiful productsbefore being outed by an industry colleague. Despite being considered “the next Beverly Johnson,” her modeling career slowed to a halt in the years following the outing.
"Clairol is very proud of the years Tracey Africa spent on the 'Born Beautiful' box in the 1970s, so it was a natural fit to bring her back for the 'Color As Real As You Are' campaign in 2016," Kevin Shapiro, vice president of marketing at Clairol tells"Tracey’s story came to light when we were planning our 'Color As Real As You Are' campaign and we decided she would be a natural fit for [it].
Norman continues to pave the way for other young transgender women of color in the modeling and entertainment industry.
