The first African-American to have a major cosmetics contract, Webb has appeared on covers of Vogue, Essence and Elle magazines and on the runway for Victoria's Secret and Chanel.

As a youth, Webb identified with magazine models and women who were involved in the fashion industry, who exhibited control over their appearance.

[8] In 1998, Miramax Books published Veronica Webb Sight: Adventures In The Big City, a collection of autobiographical essays.

Harvey Weinstein, chairman of Miramax, approached her while she was in line at the White House about publishing her essays as a memoir.

Webb dedicates her time to several charitable organizations: LIFEBeat, Product Red and the RPM Nautical Foundation.

LIFEBeat is close to Webb's heart because she was deeply affected by the AIDS crisis in the '80s as a model living in New York.

Webb got involved with RPM because of her ex-husband, George Robb, who works to bring up shipwrecks for museums and governments.
