My friends or friends of friends would tag me in photos and be like, “Oh my God, is this you?” It’s the most random other black girl. It doesn’t look anything like me, we’re not even the same age. There’s always this underlying perception and that joke of every black person looks alike. You can label that for any race, but it tends to happen a lot with people of color. Specifically, with black women. It’s just unnecessary. People aren’t confusing Madelaine with anyone else, or Lili, or Cole, or KJ, or anybody. I think it’s something that needs to be talked about and pointed out. - Ashleigh Murray for Teen Vogue
