Derek Blasberg - It's A Smalls World: My Interview With Joan Smalls. http://www.mrblasberg.com/2012/09/22/its-a-smalls-world-my-interview-with-joan-smalls/

 

DB Have you had tough moments?

 

JS I have dealt with adversity from people I thought were on my side. Past agents, when
I would come to them for advice, would just tell me: ‘There’s only room for one.’

 

DB One what?

 

JS One girl of colour.

 

DB No!

 

JS Yes. I had come for encouragement and I was given an excuse. It was disappointing. Little by little, my hopes were going down. I remember calling my dad after a tough time in Paris when I was going to casting after casting where they wouldn’t even look at my book. I was sitting on a bench on the Champs-Elysées, and starting to cry. I’m a strong person; I don’t like to show my emotions, especially to strangers on the street. My father told me to keep my head up high and do my best. And he was right.
