Jari Jones, es una modelo transgénero negra, actriz y activista que en los últimos días ha dado bastante de qué hablar tras convertirse en la imagen publicitaria de Calvin Klein en Manhattan, pues algunos señalan que sólo la eligieron para quedar bien en medio de una ola contra el racismo y en pleno mes del orgullo LGBT.

Jones, quien se identifica como una lesbiana transqueer, forma parte de la campaña Orgullo 2020 de Calvin Klein #PROUNDINMYCALVINS, que presenta un elenco de nueve modelos LGBTQ.

“Ha sido un honor y un placer sentarme en mi imagen más auténtica y presente en un cuerpo que ha sido demonizado, hostigado, hecho sentir feo e indigno e incluso asesinado”, escribió a través de su cuenta de Instagram.

En la misma campaña se encuentra Pabllo Vittar, drag queen brasileña, Chella Man, youtuber, el artista queer Gia Woods y el actor Tommy Dorfman conocido como Ryan de 13 Reasons Why.

Calvin klein declaró que cada uno de los nueve modelos presentados en #PROUNDINMYCALVINS fueron seleccionados por sus historias poderosas pero fáciles de relacionar.

There were no real positive or uplifting representations of trans people in magazines, on television and in film. But there was something constantly telling me this is what I had to do to live in my truth, to essentially be happy. There was no other choice for me – it was either live my most authentic life or jump out of here. With the love and support of community and chosen family, I chose my life. I chose me over the industry that I loved, I chose me despite what society was telling me. There were people waiting for me, once I took the leap into this journey called Transition, standing there with open arms ready to show me love and compassion and respect. In those very crucial moments I realized that when you have an unshakeable self-love and a support system, nothing is too big to conquer. What I find now is that that I’ve done more since transition. I feel like when you’re your true self, you create the most beautiful and honest art. I think the industry can recognize that and they have no choice but to celebrate and uplift that art on huge platforms. I’m glad that I chose me and everybody else kind of jumped on board as well.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @iamjarijones on Identity. #PROUDINMYCALVINS ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ By @ryanmcginleystudios ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For further information on The Trevor Project, visit www.thetrevorproject.org/help
