At 17, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carter<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> returned to Canada, enrolling at Lorne Park Secondary School in Mississauga.

Carter would frequently accompany her mother, a single parent at the time, to various fashion events.

One vivid memory involves starting kindergarten while her mother was away working in Paris. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t always easy, and I\u2019m grateful for the support of my extended family<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d reflects Carter.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">She quickly realized fashion was a natural progression <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">from<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> her upbringing. \u201cI was with my mother on countless photoshoots, knew most of the photographers by name and was captivated by the transformation process of hair and makeup,\u201d explains Carter.\u00a0 So she followed in her mom\u2019s footsteps as a model.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carter<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> launched her modelling career by signing with the Toronto agency Plus-<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">S<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ized Models, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">but quickly realized it wasn\u2019t a good fit. \u201cThere was a lot of favo<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">u<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ritism, and we were getting deductions from our pay without explanation.\u201d At that time in Toronto, size inclusivity wasn\u2019t very popular<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and she was openly critical about the lack of inclusivity, even writing published articles on the topic and appearing as a guest\u00a0on CTV\u2019s morning show. But the scene in <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Canada<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> felt limited, so she looked south.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7b22a50 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"7b22a50\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-narrow\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-473d5083 sc_content_align_center sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"473d5083\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-528fc563 sc_layouts_hide_on_wide sc_layouts_hide_on_desktop sc_layouts_hide_on_notebook sc_layouts_hide_on_tablet sc_layouts_hide_on_mobile sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"528fc563\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This special section creates a photo next to a pull-quote<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5888a18 sc_content_align_center sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"5888a18\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-718c6f46 elementor-widget-divider--view-line_icon elementor-widget-divider--separator-type-pattern elementor-widget-divider--no-spacing elementor-view-default elementor-widget-divider--element-align-center sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"718c6f46\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\" style=\"--divider-pattern-url: url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg xmlns=&#039;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&#039; preserveAspectRatio=&#039;xMidYMid meet&#039; overflow=&#039;visible&#039; height=&#039;100%&#039; viewBox=&#039;0 0 126 26&#039; fill=&#039;black&#039; stroke=&#039;none&#039;%3E%3Cpath d=&#039;M3,10.2c2.6,0,2.6,2,2.6,3.2S4.4,16.5,3,16.5s-3-1.4-3-3.2S0.4,10.2,3,10.2z M18.8,10.2c1.7,0,3.2,1.4,3.2,3.2s-1.4,3.2-3.2,3.2c-1.7,0-3.2-1.4-3.2-3.2S17,10.2,18.8,10.2z M34.6,10.2c1.5,0,2.6,1.4,2.6,3.2s-0.5,3.2-1.9,3.2c-1.5,0-3.4-1.4-3.4-3.2S33.1,10.2,34.6,10.2z M50.5,10.2c1.7,0,3.2,1.4,3.2,3.2s-1.4,3.2-3.2,3.2c-1.7,0-3.3-0.9-3.3-2.6S48.7,10.2,50.5,10.2z M66.2,10.2c1.5,0,3.4,1.4,3.4,3.2s-1.9,3.2-3.4,3.2c-1.5,0-2.6-0.4-2.6-2.1S64.8,10.2,66.2,10.2z M82.2,10.2c1.7,0.8,2.6,1.4,2.6,3.2s-0.1,3.2-1.6,3.2c-1.5,0-3.7-1.4-3.7-3.2S80.5,9.4,82.2,10.2zM98.6,10.2c1.5,0,2.6,0.4,2.6,2.1s-1.2,4.2-2.6,4.2c-1.5,0-3.7-0.4-3.7-2.1S97.1,10.2,98.6,10.2z M113.4,10.2c1.2,0,2.2,0.9,2.2,3.2s-0.1,3.2-1.3,3.2s-3.1-1.4-3.1-3.2S112.2,10.2,113.4,10.2z&#039;\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;);\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon elementor-divider__element\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-quote-left\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M464 256h-80v-64c0-35.3 28.7-64 64-64h8c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V56c0-13.3-10.7-24-24-24h-8c-88.4 0-160 71.6-160 160v240c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h128c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V304c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48zm-288 0H96v-64c0-35.3 28.7-64 64-64h8c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24V56c0-13.3-10.7-24-24-24h-8C71.6 32 0 103.6 0 192v240c0 26.5 21.5 48 48 48h128c26.5 0 48-21.5 48-48V304c0-26.5-21.5-48-48-48z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-564598bc sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"564598bc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThat\u2019s when I realized the fashion world I loved as a child no longer existed,\u201d adds Carter.

style=\"font-weight: 400\"> all those years of watching my mom and models apply flawless makeup really paid off,\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">she says. \u201cTeaching was a way to make ends meet while waiting for modelling cheques.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It was also a chance to get to know her father better, who was a Chicago native.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> During her 18 months in the city, she gained deeper insight into race and identity in America and bonded with her father and grandfather.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Returning to Toronto, she worked at beauty counters for Fashion Fair, Lanc\u00f4me and even with Iman herself during the brand launch of Iman Cosmetics at Yorkdale <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shopping Centre<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. \u201cEveryone should start at a counter,\u201d she insists. \u201cIt\u2019s the best training ground.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 1997, Carter approached renowned makeup artist Barbara Alexander to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">officially<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> learn the ropes. Alexander pointed her to Paul Langill, with whom <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carter<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> apprenticed for under a year. \u201cHe was brilliant<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> but the environment was toxic, and I knew I couldn\u2019t stay in it<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d she says. \u201cThat\u2019s when I realized the fashion world I loved as a child no longer existed,\u201d adds Carter. So she pivoted toward film and TV, where she found more space to thrive.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">That decision paid off. In film and television, Carter found not only stability but purpose, carving a path for Black Canadian women in the industry. Her career spans nearly 25 years, including a 14-year run as head of makeup on the culturally iconic show <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>Degrassi<\/em>, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">which began airing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in October 2002.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3897eafb elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"3897eafb\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-extended\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7f52554f sc_content_align_inherit sc_layouts_column_icons_position_left sc_fly_static\" data-id=\"7f52554f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f2ca412 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4f2ca412\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Fashion and Diversity<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee9e1e4 sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ee9e1e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"370\" height=\"493\" src=\"https:\/\/blackfashioncanada.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/09\/IMG_5038-370x493.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-trx_addons-thumb-portrait size-trx_addons-thumb-portrait wp-image-17602\" alt=\"Group of three people at a vanity station with makeup lights.\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72f17320 elementor-widget-tablet_extra__width-initial sc_fly_static elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"72f17320\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cRacism is taught,\u201d states Carter. \u201cWe all say it, but we have to actually un-teach it, too.\u201d In the late <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">19<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">90s, she volunteered for two years with the Toronto Mayor\u2019s Committee on Community and Race Relations, as well as the Common Ground Women\u2019s Centre, both of which deeply shaped her lifelong commitment to service.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWhat struck me,\u201d she recalls, \u201cwas being in rooms with people who weren\u2019t necessarily Black or people of colour, but who were actively working to dismantle racism. That\u2019s when I realized there\u2019s a real commitment. And that changes you.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite her success, Carter hasn\u2019t been immune to racism in the industry. She\u2019s faced microaggressions and moments of outright dismissal from people assuming she was underqualified or only present to tick a diversity box.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Racism is unfortunately ever-present in the industry, and there is a fear of speaking out on experiences due to possible backlash. However, Carter is involved in the diversity makeup committee of IATSE 873. They try to ensure that members get opportunities in classes to become proficient in all skin tones. This initiative is committed to diversity, training and elevating the experience for all actors in the makeup trailer.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The first change <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carter<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> thinks <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> necessary is to normalize <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">people of colour<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">working<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> in front of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cameras<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and behind the scenes.

Her goal was to introduce women to the creative possibilities within the beauty industry while teaching practical, on-set skills like understanding call sheets, working with directors and covering <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">actors\u2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> tattoos. \u201cI emphasized that success doesn\u2019t require a traditional career path; creativity can also lead to financial independence,\u201d she explains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Carter also included entrepreneurship into the training, encouraging the women to sell accessible products like eyeshadows or handmade shea butter items. The impact has been long<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8211;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">lasting<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and she still receives updates from participants who have gone on to become photographers and filmmakers. For Carter, these stories are a powerful reminder that beauty is more than skin deep. It can be a gateway to confidence, income and lasting change.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Following her impactful work in Ghana, Carter<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u2019<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">s career continue<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">s<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to expand with purpose.
