Depending on the light, the model, who goes by the nickname Duckie, has different skin tones. This is because of the distribution of melanin in her body. Her skin color can be reddish to the deep brown black of an ebony tree.
You can find hundreds of pictures of Duckie posing and smiling. Duckie has her own Fenty Beauty Shade #490, and she is proud to endorse it on her Instagram. Her appearance varies to the point where fans may not believe it is the same model being shown in every shot.
In 2017, she faced some bullying because of her being a black woman and because of her hair. In response, she said:
“Being a black woman, we haven’t really been taught how to take care of our natural hair — we’ve only been taught how to hide it. I think hair companies, the media, hairstylists, and the industry itself are to blame.”
“They haven’t made the same efforts to ensure black women are looked after in their most natural form. If you really think about it, it’s the black women on YouTube who have really held it down with their natural hair tutorials.
I think [the industry] should really take ownership and start to invest in us.”
Her Instagram account has more than 1 million followers. She has a sister, Nikki Perkins, that is also making her name known in the industry. The sisters will often collaborate in images or Youtube videos. It is an excellent example of women supporting each other to achieve their dreams of stardom.
Nikki works as a Youtuber and is also a mother and a wife. She once almost became a professional basketball player.
