Marlo Hampton says she wants to see real change from Anna Wintour — not just the apology she made for “hurtful and intolerant” behavior at Vogue magazine, where she’s been the editor-in-chief for over 30 years.
The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star and fashion boutique owner told Page Six, “I hear you’re sorry, but now show us action. I’m tired of people just donating money and just saying ‘I’m sorry.’ I want action. Just… get some black interns. Let me walk up in the Vogue offices in there and see a brother and a sister that look like me sitting at the desk. Show some blacks in positions who are qualified and talented to hire.”
Wintour apologized in an internal email to Conde Nast staff on June 4 after an outcry about a number of racial problems at the publishing house. She said she was sorry for not doing enough to elevate black voices and publishing images and stories that have been racially and culturally “hurtful or intolerant.”
Hampton, who has owned the Red Carpet store for ten years, has produced a PSA for Black Lives Matter, which is available on YouTube.
