Black Trans Model Jari Jones Fronts Calvin Klein 2020 Pride Campaign
Taking to Instagram to share her excitement,, "There are moments that I heard about, that help you forget when the world told you 'Never.' There are these moments I heard about about that help you heal when the society has tried to beat you down, over and over again. There are these very real moments that I heard about that help you feel affirmed even when you don't see yourself.
The model also shared a series of photos of herself with friends in front of the billboard celebrating with a bottle of champagne. "I've been searching my whole life for those moments, I got tired of looking for those moments," Jones continued. "So I decided to create them. Not for me but for the next dreamer, outcast, queer, trans, disabled, fat, beautiful black, piece of starlight waiting for their moment to shine."
