“I think it’s important to add to empowering imagery of dark skinned women. I had the chance to create the most beautiful woman I could, and her [sic] she is. “I personally don’t think 3D will replace real models because without real models Shudu would never have happened.”https://www.instagram.com/p/BYToQQQFize/?taken-by=shudu.gram And while everybody can agree that Shudu is stunningly beautiful, many have also taken issue with the fact that she is not real. Not so much because of the potential effect her existence may have on real life working models, but because of the effect her existence may have on real life working black models.

They commended the fact that black skin was finally being celebrated in such a way, and that one man's idea of "perfection" manifested itself in a digital version of a black-skinned woman. https://twitter.com/BABYGW0RL808/status/968652605370093568 https://twitter.com/denisetaquito/status/968776341075218433 https://twitter.com/glittrbomb/status/968765816463331328
