The This Day show was perfectly in tune with what's happening in the world now, the current political climate in the United States. And it's what everyone's talking about this season -- The Obama Effect - finally the industry casting more Black and African American models on the runway. The show even featured legendary model and actress, Grace Jones. See a clip of the show below:
