4. Philomena Kwao
When it comes to models, we all know what to expect; skinny, blond, hilariously Photoshoped girls. What about plus size, dark skinned models with shaved head? – Never seen one, right? The heinous discrimination in the modeling industry is what Philomena Kwao stands against. She uses her Twitter account to promote her ideology.

When asked if she could change only one aspect of the fashion industry what it would be, she replied:
“I would change the separationist mentality of the industry, especially at editorial and campaign level. I see no reason why size or color should be a barrier against a model booking a high level editorial or a big campaign.”
Give her a medal already!
