She's so dezzo to be an influencer...

It’s kind of weird with Othega because she writes a lot of polemics on quite heavy topics like finance and race issues but then does the whole ‘Ooh here are my designer influencer freebies’ so I never really know what to make of her
I mean, I get it. But yeah, awkward.
Didn’t realise Lucy put together the whole trip herself to exclude black women.
Genuinely do they think posts like this will get them invited next time?
reminds me of the drama around the Tarte F1 trip to Miami. There are far bigger issues facing POC women than not getting invited on an influencer trip.
It’s a terrible oversight to leave out Black influencers from this trip, but it’s hardly Lucy’s fault.
Otegha often seems a little aggressive on socials, so not really a surprise.
I agree they’re going after the wrong person, but I do think it’s good that Otegha’s pointed out the hypocrisy of Lucy‘s BLM stories. It shines a light on a bigger picture, about how much of the support was performative.
And sure, an influencer trip isn’t a big deal, but these things add up.

Agree, I do love that she's pointing out the hypocrisy of these influencers supporting BLM. It never goes any deeper than that though. She's still very much part of the influencer bubble whether she likes it or not.
Yep, she's totally right to call it out. There are so many influencers who swore to be better allies in light of BLM and have done literally nothing since posting a black square with a heartfelt caption. Sure, Lucy didn't put together the Mango press trip but the point is people like her are in a position of privilege where, if they really want to be better allies, they can call out the lack of diversity.
Agree. Like @soph30 said, I don't really know what to make of her.
Call me cynical but does anyone actually believe she would have even noticed the lack of diversity or messaged the brand if she hadn't been publicly called out:

FWIW, pretty sure Amis wouldn't give Dolly the time of day...
Dolly does seem like a genuine, not performative, reader to be fair. But yeah she’s not as clever about the human condition as she thinks, she really thinks her observations are Martin Amis level but with a cool millenial sheen
That would be a NO.
Errrrmmm, what?! In today's Otegha Tries Influencing...
Since when does she have a background in Art? Her "career" is so weird and random
Actually can't deal with this level of cringe. I guess she thinks it makes her look cool or fun or something, IDK...
She thinks she's a lot edgier than she is, she's a Sloane
she was only able to live a bohemian lifestyle because of her parents' moneyNot sure if this posted
That's an unflattering jumper.
I have an undying crush on Jarv and I am bleeping jealous.
