It's Time to Redefine the Color "Nude"
If you ask any woman of color, they will tell you finding a bra that matches their skin tone is no easy feat. In fact, there's been an industry-wide oversight when it comes to providing nude products for anyone who is not white.
The issue is not limited to undergarments - everything from foundation to band-aids have been subjects of criticism. A #NudeAwakening, launched by frustrated twitter users, even prompted Merriam-Webster Dictionary to redefine the meaning of the word to be more inclusive.
Rae Wynn Grant and Alex Sutty are amongst entrepreneurs trying to expand the definition of the term nude with their inclusive lingerie line called Buff You Intimates. We caught up with them to hear their thoughts on the issue.
