Coco A PIONEER

Mitchell

JEZ MAGAZINE Interview: COCO MITCHELL Written by Denise Pereau @dpereau

Although she eschews any type of labeling, she is clearly by definition a pioneering Super Model, enjoying a 45 plus year career, but you may not know her name. You may not know she was discovered by the legendary founder of Ford Models, Eileen Ford, on the streets of Manhattan on her way to her teaching job back in the 80’s. And you’re probably unaware she was celebrated as the first African American woman to grace the pages of Sports Illustrated in 1986, captured in print posterity during a groundbreaking shoot in Bora Bora, November 25, 1985. Facts stated, it’s also unlikely you’re aware her career has maintained relevancy into the 21st Century continually inspiring others to seize opportunity whenever doors open.

Gazing through scores of images on social media, recognition leaps into consciousness and you can’t help but remember this statuesque beauty, the smile, the effervescent aura, the steely determination in her gaze, and the seeming liquidity of her beautifully toned skin sheathed in radiance. Her presence in the hallowed halls of couture fashion houses, fashion magazines and global runways harken back to an era of transformative self-discovery. A favorite of everyone from Givenchy to Armani, It’s easy to see why her career trajectory has transcended the mundane and predictable. Meet Coco Mitchell.

Mitchell’s grace and charm is charged through faith in God, his singular plan for her supporting a no nonsense approach to life and living. Candidly speaking, sharing with Coco is a breath of fresh air, her stories alight with anecdotes about her life and travels abroad coupled with an insatiable appetite for learning. Her love and respect of family, particularly her mother and grandmother, has been the foundation of her personal truth.

We found commonality through faith, our z st for living and travel, and of course, a love of fashion. As the Bible attests, whenever two or more are gathered in his name, there is a church. As we shared our blessings and joys through Him along with our fears for humanity at large, tears crept into the conversation and we’re not ashamed to admit it. Coco deftly steered our discussion from sadness and worry to a spirited assumption, obviously, we were meant to meet, and we’re delighted to share excerpts of our conversation with you.

JEZ is pleased and honored to introduce our readers to an imitable woman of style and substance, Coco Mitchell.

JEZ: How wonderful to speak with you today! Where were you born and raised? Do you have siblings? What was your childhood like?

COCO: I was born in Florida and came to Harlem, New York when I was 5 years old. I have 5 brothers and sisters and I’d have to say we did struggle, but my mother and grandmother were the strongest women ever and we were very lucky to have their guidance and support. I really had a great childhood.

JEZ: In what way?

COCO: We enjoyed being kids which is something that’s hard for kids to do today. There’s too much pressure at the earliest stages of life that we never had to face. And we were given the gift of faith at a very young age. I don’t like labels, but I consider myself a Born Again Christian. My truth comes from my relationship with the Lord, but I wouldn’t call myself religious. God has complete control of my life and in that capacity, I’ve been blessed beyond. My mother and grandmother also taught us how to speak up for ourselves without overreacting. That’s a powerful tool to have in your personal arsenal.

JEZ: Are you in a relationship or married? How long? Do you have children?

COCO: I’ve had a few very fulfilling long lasting relationships, on my terms, that I enjoyed while I was in them, and have even been engaged. But marriage wasn’t to be for me. I just never took the time for it. My relationships always made the news when I became well known in the industry. It was something I couldn’t escape. Never had kids. I do have great relationships with my nieces and nephews.

JEZ: Do you ever think about having a relationship now?

COCO: At this point in time, I’d love to have a relationship with a man of faith, a life partner if you will. I like geeky, nerdy men who are fit both mentally and physically. I used to run marathons and being fit is very important to me. It sounds cliché, but I’m a beach girl and there’s nothing more romantic to me than a walk on the beach. It would be great to be able to share that with someone special.

JEZ: The story about how you became a model reads like a Hollywood script treatment.

Please share with us.

COCO: (Laughing) Well, it’s true! I was walking down the street in Manhattan and a woman came up to me

and started asking me questions. I was a Teacher in a Catholic school at the time, and I was on my way to work. First off, she asked me if I had a book and I said I have lots of books.

(Laughing) She wanted to know how much money I made and when I told her I made $227.00 every two weeks she told me it was sad and asked me if I’d like to model. That woman was the one and only Eileen Ford of Ford Models.

I had no idea who she was or anything about books or modeling or fashion shoots, or anything related to the business or even what accepting her offer would mean to me. But I saw a life of struggle flash in front of my eyes while she was talking, and I decided to take a chance. I realized God had opened a door for me. I took the opportunity to walk through it to enrich my life and began traveling the world, but I never chased fame.

JEZ: What was it like when you first started back in the 80’s?

COCO: It was confusing at first because I didn’t know what I was doing and everything happened so fast, it was a whirlwind to say the least. I began working in New York but as I’ve mentioned, I’m a beach girl and I felt I had to get out of NYC, so it was fortunate I was able to go to LA where I’d have to say I got my wings. I did a lot of testing with Photographers back then. It was a real collaborative era. But I had so much to learn.

JEZ: The 80’s brought about significant change in our society while fast forwarding out of the 70’s. As a young Black woman navigating the parameters of a business you knew nothing about, did you ever feel compromised?

COCO: Not really, but I can tell you working in the fashion industry was an education about people.

I may have not known what I was doing in the beginning,

but I always had a deep sense of propriety. And I was a fast learner. Even though my purpose in life has always been to be the light in the dark, being the only Black person in the room wasn’t an honor, it was more of an insult when other people of color were left behind the door. But it was a time when opportunities in the fashion industry, once unimaginable, became accessible for African Americans, and I realized by being the only Black person in the room, I was opening doors for others, so I always did my best. But if a vibe on a booking was sketchy, or if I was ever in a situation where I wasn’t recognized for who I am, I knew how to avoid trouble or even to bow out all-together thanks to my mother and grandmother. And believe it or not, other African American models didn’t accept me at first, but it didn’t matter.

JEZ: Besides making more than $227.00 every other week, how was your life enriched through your decision to accept Eileen Ford’s offer?

COCO: Couldn’t believe eventually I made $15,000.00 per show just for walking down a runway. My life was certainly enriched financially, but travel and living abroad provides an education that can’t be matched. I studied and learned Italian while living in Italy absorbing everything possible about fine art and the Italian culture. I worked in all the big cities in the world, from Milan to Paris, to Tokyo and London and back to New York City. Everywhere I went, I dove into the culture to learn as much as I could. There’s nothing more enriching in life than gaining knowledge. I’ve never regretted my decision to walk through the door God opened for me that day on the streets of Manhattan.

JEZ: In the fashion industry, it’s not uncommon for models to be in situations where they’re treated like a non-entity and their feelings are the last thing tabled for consideration if at all. Did you ever have an experience where you were treated unkindly?

COCO: It was brutal sometimes. In 1984 after moving to Milan, I signed with Ricardo Guy. Giorgio Armani was booking a fashion show soon after I arrived, and I got a call for a go see.

He didn’t like the way I walked and said to everyone in the room, “Is she retarded? All Black Models know how to walk!

Just pretend you have on Mommy’s high heels!” I had no clue what I was doing, but I was determined to be the best Model on the runway and didn’t let him get to me. He ended up booking me for three shows.

“Another time, I had met the Photographer Gracziano Ferrari towards the end of the Milan season. He asked me my name and I responded, Coco Mitchell, expecting to have a normal conversation with him, but he told me I was horrible! He had caught me off guard, but I didn’t take offense. I thought, he’s right! Oh no, I’ve been found out. I’m going to be sent home!

He asked me if I was going to Paris. I said yes. Then, he said, Don’t go! I said, But I want to go! Then he just looked at me

and gave me his card. And that was that. So, I called him when I arrived in Paris.”

Ironically, he invited me to go to a Chanel show and I sat in the pit at the base of the runway with all the Photographers and the Press. At that time runways were elevated above the ground. When the lights came up Pat Cleveland floated out captivating the entire audience with an entrance you can’t imagine and I thought wow, I’m really in trouble! I just kept going to the shows which gave me a big advantage in my pursuit of perfection, and eventually, I developed my signature style which included learning how to work the Press, a hugely important asset. I ended up doing all the top shows through the 80’s. Learning how to listen is an art in itself, as well as learning how to see what you’re looking at.

JEZ: You’ve worked for every major fashion house and shot with every major fashion Photographer and appeared on runways across the globe. Do you have a favorite Designer?

COCO: I’ve met and worked with all the big names throughout my career, but I don’t really have a favorite Designer. I have a favorite person and that’s Givenchy. He always treated me with respect. He was kind and gentle and I loved working with him. Armani was like that too even though he wasn’t initially open to me at first. Armani told me he chose me to be in his shows because I was the best in the world, and I’ll never forget that.

JEZ: Your career has had enviable longevity in the industry, and you’re still working in your 70’s. To what do you attribute your success other than the fact you’ve remained absolutely stunning throughout every stage of your life?

COCO: First off, I have to give thanks to God. Wherever I may be, I always ask myself, why am I in this room, and how does God see me? I believe he has a plan for everyone and there’s always an opportunity to share my faith. Secondly, I always took ownership of my actions and never had preconceived attitudes or a chip on my shoulder. I was never an embarrassment to myself. I’ve always been respected for my work ethic, and I don’t have time to figure out other people because I’m too busy learning. People know who I am as a person when I walk through the door and the combination of all these factors has kept me very busy.

JEZ: Now for some fun questions. You have one garment in the back of your closet you can’t part with. What is it?

COCO: (Laughing) No one ever asked me a question like that before! Hmmm. Robes are always provided for the Models on shoots. When I was in Osaka Japan 45 years ago, I was given a gorgeous Kimono robe that I just can’t get rid of. Besides being gorgeous, it has sentimental value and I still wear it occasionally.

JEZ: Space travel. Would you buy a ticket?

COCO: (Laughing again) Nooooooooo! I’m a little bit claustrophobic and not into oxygen tanks.

JEZ: You’ve purchased a one way ticket to where?

COCO: (Still laughing) Have to say Hong Kong! Love the Asian culture, the food, and the clothing. One of my favorite meals is a big spicy bowl of Ramen noodles with a boiled egg.

JEZ: Do you have any parting advice for up and coming models?

COCO: I really wish that the next generation could have the success I’ve had in my career. When a door opens, take a chance. Walk through it but be mindful of what’s really happening. The industry has changed substantially but one thing that never changes is the value of self-respect. When we lose that, people can take advantage.

It’s important to remember that. And besides learning all you can about the industry, and having a good agent, learn how to negotiate contracts. Today, the clients have way too much control over financial compensation for print work and runway jobs. It’s important to become business oriented besides being your own advocate.

JEZ Magazine Interview Written by Denise Pereau @dpereau

Eboni K. Williams In a world that tends to value style over substance, Eboni K. Williams shatters the hype by harnessing her assets to disrupt and deliver, determined to be the catalyst for change in the “Black/African Diaspora” and beyond. Child Prodigy, Attorney, Author, Broadcast Journalist, Podcaster, the first Black New York Housewife on Bravo, season 13, and Entrepreneur; her photo should accompany the word “whirlwind” in Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary.

Self-described as a nerd, an introvert and a workaholic, Williams moves through life devouring opportunity while divesting herself of stereotype fostered on her at times by social media haters.

Clearly, she’s a woman on a mission; gifted, accomplished, confident and strikingly beautiful with a commanding sense of self-respect serving to shield her from the downside of negative commentary.

Blue Dress: Just E&V @just_env Shoes: @aquazzura

Earings: @ericksonbeamon Ring: @lisanikjewelry

harismatically engaging, Eboni’s intelligent, conversational capacity to provoke deep thought while keeping it real keeps her connected to and sought after in multiple arenas. But, make no mistake, once a door closes, you can bet on the fact she’s prepared to plow through the next one. The most inspiring messaging Williams projects is ground in the philosophy of abundance and free enterprise. She urges all people of color, particularly those who are marginalized, to take ownership of their destinies by forging entrepreneurial undertakings in business. Williams cites the fact that no one will pay you what you will pay yourself and it’s hard to be free when you don’t own anything.

Although Eboni’s philosophy may seem impossible to form into an action plan for many, business ownership has been proven to provide a source of safety and protection for those living in underserved communities.

Williams is a proud graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, as well as Loyola University New Orleans College of Law. In addition, she is the host and Executive Producer of the Warner Music Group’s Holding Court with Eboni K. Williams. She has guest hosted The View, and currently hosts The Grio which airs on The Grio cable television network owned by Byron Allen. Williams has also hosted a true crime series featured on OWN and the Investigation Discovery Network. Williams skillfully employs her platforms for messaging against social injustice and discriminatory practice along with support of gender equality. As an attorney and an expert on Black History and Culture in America, she is a frequent public speaker on the respective subject matter throughout the United States.

The Conversation JEZMagazine is pleased and honored to introduce our readers to Eboni K. Williams.

JEZ: All we can say is wow! Thank you for sharing with us today. Let’s hear a little bit about your childhood. You were raised in the South?

WILLIAMS: Thank you, it’s great to share with you! Yes, I was born and raised in North Carolina. I had my first headshot at about 6 years of age.

(Laughing) Once my mother realized I was “gifted”, she had me in the school of the arts for children, she had me modeling and entered in beauty pageants, and taking classical ballet and piano. I worked pretty much throughout my whole childhood which was my normal. Never had a sleepover, never went to one. I was programmed from an early age to achieve a high level of success, and I had a fear of my mother as a child. It wasn’t until I was through my teens that an understanding of what she was trying to accomplish became clear to me.

JEZ: Were you raised in a religious family?

WILLIAMS: I would say yes. We went regularly to a Black Baptist Church when I was a child, but eventually we attended mostly on holidays and special occasions. I would describe myself today as non-denominational, but my faith is very important to me. I have a deep relationship with God that’s very personal and I believe in the God of abundance. I also believe we’re led to think abundance doesn’t exist in this country in the current political climate, but I can tell you it does. We just have to claim it.

JEZ: Did you ever experience racism as a child? Were you ever fearful?

WILLIAMS: Yes, I have and no, I was never really afraid, but the dynamic is a lot bigger than the action of discrimina-

tory, systematic racism which has thrived for hundreds of years in the US. People are basically numb to the term. But today, it includes an Anti-Black, visceral backlash and the delegitimization of the African American Diaspora. Just look at what’s happening in Florida, and I know you’ve seen my response to Governor DeSantis on-line, but let’s not go there for this piece. What empowers me is my belief in the beauty of my Blackness, and a high evaluation of self which is centered on being Black. You’ll have to read my book, Bet On Black, which is a contribution to my community, set on defining and reframing what life as a Black person means today in this country.

JEZ: What made you write this book?

WILLIAMS: My mission is centered on being the catalyst for change in my community and it’s important I keep verbalizing it. Black people have long been treated as second class citizens, suppressed, and held hostage by a society that subordinates skin color with inferior intelligence which is damaging to all people of color. Bet on Black is a call to action for Black people all over the world to shed crippling mindsets, and to claim the richness of our heritage using the tools we have at our disposal to honor our Blackness however we see fit. Adopting this mindset is crucial to individual success as well as a uniting factor for our communities.

JEZ: Did you have a childhood Hero?

WILLIAMS: Yes, it was Michael Jackson!

Loved his music and everything about him. I felt like my life as a child was a lot like his and I was obsessed with him.

The reason I feared my mother was that she emulated Michael’s father’s parenting style and if you know anything

about that, it was scary. She wanted to do everything possible to make sure I took advantage of my gifts from a very early age just like Mr. Jackson did with his kids. My mother was seeking perfection in me, and I was very lonely. I know now she did it out of love. I’d have to say she’s my Hero today and so is my Grandfather Carey James.

JEZ: We sometimes have difficult relationships with our parents as kids and don’t understand them until we’re adults. For a lot of people, once we hit our thirties, emotional upheavals related to our childhoods surface that need to be addressed.

WILLIAMS: That’s for sure. My mother, Gloria Williams, was a poor Black woman, a single mother and an amazing businesswoman besides being tough as nails. She was a licensed Cosmetologist and I kind of grew up in the salon. She was very entrepreneurial and actually owned a transportation company too. Can you imagine? It still overwhelms me when I think of her sacrifices and what she went through to support us. My mother taught me the value of work ethics and business ownership at a very young age and I’m forever grateful for everything she did for me, but I really didn’t understand her struggles until I was into adulthood.

JEZ: With your educational background and all of your accomplishments under your belt, you must have had a few missteps or failures along the way that helped you become stronger. Does anything particular spring to mind?

WILLIAMS: None of us go through life without falling down a few times.

Getting back up is what’s important. As an entertainment personality it’s really hard to hide failure when it happens. I’ve been fired a couple of times, very publicly as well which isn’t fun, once in 2018 and then in 2021 but it’s okay. I consider getting fired a blessing and a chance to discover new opportunity. Nothing that happens can ever make me give up on my goals in life.

JEZ: What happened at Bravo?

WILLIAMS: People are always asking me why I disappeared from the NYCHW show, but everyone was let go. You have to realize it’s not just Bravo TV, it’s the PEACOCK Network, and there were corporate mandates and initiatives being introduced including the decision to cast several minorities, not just one Black woman, to comply with changing times. I was happy to be cast as the first Black woman on the show, but I was vilified because I didn’t come there to be anyone’s Black sidekick. I’m very centered on my Blackness which was counter to their stereotypical imaging of

what a Black woman should be. They were anti-Black, anti-Semitic, and adherents to the show’s premise of women behaving badly, aged 40 and up. Again, I have to reiterate my platform is to be the catalyst for change and as the first Black woman cast member, my goal was accomplished. They were just jealous of my academic standing, my accomplishments and even my personal esthetics. Too bad for them.

JEZ: Recently, you were misquoted as saying you’d never date or marry a bus driver and it brought out the haters on social media full force. What was that all about?

WILLIAMS: First of all, I never said that. I’d have no problem dating or marrying a bus driver as long as he owns the bus. And what’s wrong with that? What attracts me to people I like to be with isn’t tied to their wallets. What I look for in a man is drive, no pun intended. I look for someone who takes charge of opportunity and the desire to be their own boss because ownership brings freedom and abundance to us in life.

That’s an incredibly attractive quality. I think it’s important for everyone, especially Black women, to look for people who value themselves first so they in turn can be valued. It’s still hard in this country for a Black Woman to be taken seriously. In 1994, Malcom X said the most disrespected person in America is the Black Woman. The most un-protected woman in America is the Black woman, and the most neglected woman in America is the Black woman. All I want to do is amplify the conversation to achieve my mission. If people formulate the wrong impression regarding my motives and goals, that’s on them.

JEZ: Your down time. What does that look like?

WILLIAMS: I don’t really have much time for myself and basically, I’m an introvert, believe it or not! I have a few friends that are like family, and I like to just hang out at home with them when I have the time. But I also love to travel because we learn a lot about who we are as human beings when we get the chance to immerse ourselves in the cultures of other countries. I have many countries on my bucket list of cities to explore, including a 2024 trip to Ghana.
