Mari Malek - How a Sudanese Refugee Became an Indomitable Model


What’s underneath video in honor of Black women, we feature the activist-DJ-model Mari Malek. Mari was born in war-torn Sudan, has lived in the projects of New Jersey, and has faced extreme harassment due to the dark color of her skin. Though she has endured struggles that few of us will experience, Maria has never strayed from her true self: "Fuck everybody who thinks I should suppress my identity. Fuck fear. It’s time for the world to look at one another not as black race or a white race but as a human race."

Thank you, Chantelle Lingerie, for sponsoring this episode and for providing Mari with a personal bra fitting and the lingerie shown in this video. For more info about Chantelle, please visit: http://us.chantelle.com/
