'Racist' Dove ad: Model Lola Ogunyemi speaks out

Beauty company Dove apologised after releasing a series of "racist" images that appeared to show a black woman turning white after using their soap.

The Facebook advertising campaign used a series of three images, apparently showing a black woman peeling off her T-shirt to reveal a white woman underneath her skin.

The featured model Lola Ogunyemi explains why she thinks the ad was taken out of context.

Originally broadcast 11 October 2017.
