In a conversation with the publication, Paris Match Naomi noted that, despite visible progress towards gender and racial diversity, discrimination still exists in the heads of people. She brought an example of an unpleasant case that had happened to her in France during the Cannes Film Festival. According to the model, she was invited to a secular event to the hotel whose name she did not decapitate. The star took his girlfriend with him, but their both were not allowed into the building because of the color of the skin. Campbell explained that the staff of the hotel pretended, as if there were no vacant places, but they continued to run inside the other guests.
The model told the publication that such cases only strengthen the desire to fight for equality in it. "I struggled for an equal payment of work with my white colleagues and continue to do it. Being a face advertising campaign, I heard that because of my skin, certain countries would not want to use my photos. For me it was a tack of strength. Now I would like black models to have the same opportunities and payment in the advertising business, "Naomi said in an interview with Vogue Australia.
