Lerato Moloi is a South African fashion model who, in 2009, became the first black face for the cosmetics brand Elizabeth Arden.
Moloi told BBC News, "Young girls in Africa are increasingly concerned with being thin-the more exposed we are to western media-the more we buy into".
As the first black face for Elizabeth Arden, Moloi has stated that she wants to dispel the myth that UV protection is not essential for women of color.
In July 2020, Moloi was reportedly arrested for being in contempt of court after she refused to remove a tweet in which she alleged she had been sexually assaulted by three men, one of whom she named was comedian Mongezi "Tol Ass Mo" Ngcobondwane.
On 19 June she had tweeted: "Moment's ago, I've just signed for & received the lawyer's letters of demand, interim protection order; etc, from the man that raped me in 2014.
