Vashtie Kola Talks To ESSENCE About Becoming The Newest Face Of Swarovski!

Supermodel Chanel Iman, model/activist Winnie Harlow and modern day renaissance woman Vashtie Kola are bringing a triple dose of Black Girl Magic to Swarovski.

The three gorgeous ladies are front and center, alongside a handful of other prominent pop culture influencers, in Swarovski’s latest ad for its new #BeBrilliant campaign.

Vashtie took to Instagram to announce the news on Tuesday afternoon. “Beyond stoked to be one of the new faces of @Swarovski and aligned with all these amazing peeps! #BeBrilliant,” she posted. She later shared a second post featuring a video clip of the ad in full.

If @Swarovski chose a poor ashy Trini kid from the hood to be a face for their new campaign, truss mi daddy…you can do it too! ANYTHING is possible! 🇺🇸🗽🤗🗽🇹🇹
