Exactly! Nowadays, the Supermodel title is now handed to just about any model that manages to book a good show or two like Halloween candy, it's ridiculous (Kendull Jenner comes to mind).
@@dariofontana6040 Supermodels aren't like they used to be now models are usually famous because of their famous parents. Kendall Jenner is a pretty girl, however, she's only famous because of her family, there are girls much more beautiful that never make it but this is unfair. The models of the early 90s were the real Supermodels today anyone can be a model if they have a famous parent!!!
Her loyalty towards Puerto Rico is breathtaking. Puerto Rico is a part of the States but they weren't treated like one after the hurricane. They fight in the military for their country but their country didn't have their backs. They didn't have water, electricity neither Internet. It was heartbreaking to watch
Yes true words! Respect to my Puerto Rican brothers and sisters. I hope one they day they can get more respect and treated better by the U.S. government etc. even though I’m not Puerto Rican I hope they gain independence. I know though it’s so complicated but they deserve to be independent and have it as own country.
They have always been treated as second class. Their is the history that they teach and the truth. The truth of what US has done to Puerto Rico and its citizens is deplorable.
Some online Vogue's are better than their paper equivalent. I want to find the one with more artistic, political influence - Polish one is quite good in this aspect (although maybe I'm biased because I know the language ;)). I have to look through British once more, though. This video is so well done because it's almost without the background music and it gives the opportunity to the model to speak her mind. It made me feel really in touch with Joan. She is humble and diligent, I love these traits in people.
WOW! as we say in Puerto Rico, British Vogue threw the house through the window with this one! Simple, non pretentious and with no artificial flavors. Beautiful work! Kudos.
Puerto Rican pride!!! Thank you British Vogue for visiting my country and producing such a beautiful video! There will never be another supermodel like Joan, she's one of a kind!
@ok 01 there's a lot of racism and colorism in the latin community and one thing from that is that it's bad to associate yourself with being black. So it's takes a lot for them to shake off that mindset and embrace themselves
I truly enjoy this video and hope it turns out as a series. Joan herself makes this video gratifying because her cultural background is so rich and that I've never heard or seen before. Please expose this kind of stories more often.
A very poignant and nicely shot video, thanks Vogue. It's always refreshing to get a glimpse behind all the media and advert glamour and see that there truly is a real and whole person there.
Your POPPA was full of wisdom when he said finish your degree..... modeling may not last forever because it is based on the Physical. Your education, your knowledge continues forever... keep learning, keep growing, keep giving back!!!
Wow this video is sooo good .... Joan is such a beautiful person inside and out ... this video reminds me of my childhood back home... and its all about the simple things that really matter in life... meaningful relationships 👏😍 ...her dad is a wise man. Vogue this is such a beautiful work
wow.. Ms Smalls I've seen you walk the runway for Tom Ford and others, in that Beyonce video, fashion mags and always admired your confidence, powerful presence and striking beauty but I just had no idea how real, down to earth, smart, hard working and kind you are. You are so beautiful inside and out and your family and home country are just exquisite. Thank you for sharing with us....
I randomly watched this because Puerto Rico but Joan's papi's words at 7:13 on walking with your head up, with pride and giving respect are timelessly true for all occasions.
As a puertorrican fashion photographer this video make me proud! Just like Joan I don’t live in Puerto Rico at this moment so I can feel what she said about the island. So proud of Joan and so proud of mi isla! 🌴
Joan's family was and is a great support to her. She has good parents who went through life difficulties together. They are her true strength. It was warming and beautiful to watch.
This is why its so important to show the person behind the face and the glitz and glam .... in love with her personality and inner beauty !!!! Great job Vogue
This video is everything! It’s motivating, refreshing and I didn’t know Joana is such an upbright and genuine person! And yes Puerto Rico seems so vibrant and peaceful here! Thank you Vogue for a great production! And thank you Joana for being so inspirational ❤️🥊
This is the best British Vogue video I have ever seen. Joan Smalls is a compassionate, intelligent woman and a fantastic role model. Also, the family visit and the beauty of PR is astounding. Just absolutely wonderful to see.
This short-reportage about Joan Smalls is so refreshing and real. Nicely done Vogue ! More of inspiring content like this ! She is one humble and gorgeous lady !
thank you British Vogue please keep this type of content coming. You guys are my favorite channel out of all the vogue channels. I teared up when Joan teared up. I love her chickens and dog Karma is so cute 😄😁
So Lovely!! I Love Puerto Rico so much too!!! those beach for surf and kite flying🙌🙌🌹🌹 watching this just bring back so much memories. Puerto Rico is really similar to my country in fact many of South America countries but more the Pacific Indios land. I thought Joan was Brazilian but she was actually Puerto Rican hehe, She is an African Latina and she has the soul of Native American. Even her father, funny when you are modelling you walk like this hahaha😁😁😂 Like native American spirit She loves her roots, and proud. And how far she will go she does not lose or forget who she is just like Lima, or Isabeli. Native wisdom: "This world can tell you who you are, rewrite your story. But you will not lose yourself, always remember who you are" ... So modelling job have helped and made their life better, her parents life better. So Proud to watch a Girl and a fighter like you. you went by yourself there build your dreams and your goal JOAN SMALL and life is beautiful , Now she is not small she stand out in the crowds and whole world loves her, and watch her. Very proud and inspired from uou Joan!! 🙌🙌🙌♥🌹
Wow I am in tears 😭 this is so beautiful and I am so happy to see this beautiful woman who I share my heritage with showing our beautiful island to the world. My heart is so filled with love thank you vouge 💙
I salute you mama!!! A great example of knowing where you come from and working hard to get where you want to go. Would love to see more of women like you modeling.
When I discovered Joan it was because I literally typed Afro-Latina model on Google and her named popped up. I read her Wikipedia and then I started looking at her portfolios and Fashion shows. I then turned around and told my daughters about her and they said Mami why is she so special: Ella es especial por que es Boricua de pura cepa, como ustedes y como Yo. Ella trigueña igual como nosotras y donde quiera que va representa nuestra cultura Afro-Antillana. I'm extremely proud to be Boricua and to have such a noble, intelligent, charismatic and beautiful woman represent us. Dios te bendiga Joan. Coincidencialmente, mi abuela tambien se llamaba Juana de la Cruz for Joan of Arc ❤
Wow...I’m really impressed by this young, brave woman and her love for our country. You are a beautiful both spiritually and physically. Thank God for your mom and Dad. I wish you lots of success.

That's who we call a supermodel. She reached where she's now on her own. We stan strong women.
Exactly! Nowadays, the Supermodel title is now handed to just about any model that manages to book a good show or two like Halloween candy, it's ridiculous (Kendull Jenner comes to mind).
Exactly! No family clout to enhance her career either
Sandy g. Like K.Jenner, Kaia Gerber and Cara Delevine..
Ananya yes exactly and she deserves it . Not like others who were rich and got it thanks to their connections

less of the staged 73 questions, more of this
We can have both, so why not?
totally agree with you! 73 questions are so so so staged makes me feel so uncomfortable!
amen.
I like the segment. Not all are amazing. The Simone Biles one was CRINGE
the way that she effortlessly swaps between Spanish and English is so beautiful
Joan Smalls' dad should teach all the models today how to walk LOL
Lol yeah especially you Gigi
And Kendall
Papa Smalls knows whats up
And Cara Delevine, who walks like a rich, spoilt brat with the arrogant smirk in the face.
,
wow her dad was such a cute coach!!
her dads look and sound haitians
her father's actually is west indian from San Thomas!
jim one her dad is Crucian
Her loyalty towards Puerto Rico is breathtaking. Puerto Rico is a part of the States but they weren't treated like one after the hurricane.

Very true each of your words, I wish everyone looks us like you do... Thanks 🇵🇷♥️
indeed it was just like that. I was there. I am Porto Rican and very proud of Joan!
Yes true words! Respect to my Puerto Rican brothers and sisters. I hope one they day they can get more respect and treated better by the U.S. government etc. even though I’m not Puerto Rican I hope they gain independence. I know though it’s so complicated but they deserve to be independent and have it as own country.
They have always been treated as second class. Their is the history that they teach and the truth. The truth of what US has done to Puerto Rico and its citizens is deplorable.
We never were a consideration. From birth control testing to now
This country looks so beautiful. And her dad is awesome.
Is Puerto Rico
It is, trust me, i loved this video so much
It is! My Home❤️🇵🇷
Honestly British Vogue has the best online content of all the Vogues. Loved this. A true model of our time.
Some online Vogue's are better than their paper equivalent.

I agree wholeheartedly!
More models like Joan please. Less Jenner/Hadids/Baldwins.
Ren Sol yesssss
Baldwin isn’t a model for me 🙄 I found it very unfair when I saw her for the first time a cover of vogue.
@@valeriadelgado6768 Exactly. 😉 I don't know why many consider her a model. Same thing with Kendall and the Hadids. #stopnepotism
forreal!!!
Valeria Delgado sameeeeeeeee
I've seen her face quite a lot but never thought she would be this sweet
Omg her dad is the coolest dad in the world, periodt
Liked how Joan's friend said: "We are selling confidence when we actually have low self esteem". That's a good point. And actually inspires!
WOW! as we say in Puerto Rico, British Vogue threw the house through the window with this one! Simple, non pretentious and with no artificial flavors. Beautiful work! Kudos.
a self made supermodel 🤗 not brought up by nepotism like some other girls
When she hopped over the fence, before the gate opened. Let me know shes really from the Island lol
Anonymous Checkbox yess I still do it 👀
lol
i meaaaaannnn her dad is legit !
i remember seeing him in vogue a few years ago and saying this is where she gets her looks from.
@@owenbeharry8478 hilarious
Wow, what a beautiful way to portray Joan and Puerto Rico, everything looks magical! Love seeing this, keep it up British Vogue!!!
Puerto Rican pride!!! Thank you British Vogue for visiting my country and producing such a beautiful video! There will never be another supermodel like Joan, she's one of a kind!
How parents invest in their kids. It's just lovely!!!!! I cried I laugh and I got inspiration!!!!!!!!
I like the fact that she embraces both sides-Black AND Latino.
@ok 01 there's a lot of racism and colorism in the latin community and one thing from that is that it's bad to associate yourself with being black. So it's takes a lot for them to shake off that mindset and embrace themselves
There are no sides. We are boriqua never forget.
@@ShaniTheBurningTree I- okay sis
Ignorance. How can you be black and Latino? latino is not a race. She's a black person from "Latin" America. Simple
daniels latina is puerto Rican and black is african descent.... happy now?
We need less Questions and more of THIS
Totally
I don't think one stops the other...
I think Vogue America is the only one that does it. British Vogue has a rather different approach to these types of videos
I truly enjoy this video and hope it turns out as a series. Joan herself makes this video gratifying because her cultural background is so rich and that I've never heard or seen before. Please expose this kind of stories more often.
💖
When Joan jumped over the fence to enter her parents farm, I was like YAAAAAAAS!!!!
Namzie Mol hahaha
Lol ...I’ve done that a lot when I grew up in Madagascar ... cool to see that a supermodel still does it!
I'm sorry but the real star of the video is Joan's dad and his catwalk commentary. Sorry Joan :)
What a beautiful girl inside and out x her family must be so proud - and her too of her family x
A very poignant and nicely shot video, thanks Vogue.
It's always refreshing to get a glimpse behind all the media and advert glamour and see that there truly is a real and whole person there.
That girl lives in paradise! 😍😍 btw her dad could make a great model! 😁
This video was SO GOOD. Puerto Rico is truly one of the most beautiful places in the world
Hermosa representación de Puerto Rico 🇵🇷❤️ very proud that Joan is Boricua ✨👏🏼
Your POPPA was full of wisdom when he said finish your degree..... modeling may not last forever because it is based on the Physical. Your education, your knowledge continues forever... keep learning, keep growing, keep giving back!!!
Best model video I have ever seen.They seem so normal and relaxed.Not like their glamour persona at all.
I liked after her Papa’s definition of modeling. Such great parents and a great woman!
Her dad is awesome, her family is beautiful. Lovely video.
Love Joan! A supermodel indeed! ❤️🦋
A supermodel we need!
Wow this video is sooo good .... Joan is such a beautiful person inside and out ... this video reminds me of my childhood back home... and its all about the simple things that really matter in life... meaningful relationships 👏😍
...her dad is a wise man.
Vogue this is such a beautiful work
wow.. Ms Smalls I've seen you walk the runway for Tom Ford and others, in that Beyonce video, fashion mags and always admired your confidence, powerful presence and striking beauty but I just had no idea how real, down to earth, smart, hard working and kind you are.

Her parents are so beautiful, she really looks like both of them 😍
She is so amazing and down to earth! Really real!
I randomly watched this because Puerto Rico but Joan's papi's words at 7:13 on walking with your head up, with pride and giving respect are timelessly true for all occasions.
The content we actually deserve. Thank you.
I always knew that she was Puerto Rican, but to hear her speak in Spanish--Woo! Su acento es muy puertoricaña. :)
I‘m so in love with her since ever! She‘s got the whole package, clever, humble and beautiful
No shade to other vogues but this is the reason I subscribe to the British Vogue only and not to the other ones!
As a puertorrican fashion photographer this video make me proud! Just like Joan I don’t live in Puerto Rico at this moment so I can feel what she said about the island. So proud of Joan and so proud of mi isla! 🌴
Josua we need to see how many afro pr girls you have in your portfolio. that's where the real test it.
Definitely one of the best Vogue videos that I have seen. I love Joan Smalls and enjoyed seeing her family, especially her dad and his model walk.
Thank you British Vogue for making this video, it mean a lot to me. I live in Puerto Rico.
Joan's family was and is a great support to her. She has good parents who went through life difficulties together. They are her true strength. It was warming and beautiful to watch.
Wow Joan is honestly just the most down to earth person . This is hands down one of the best videos published by Vogue!
Her friend IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!
"We are selling confidence when we have the lowest self-esteem. "
Joan is so sincere and pure in her love for her home it’s heartwarming
Joan’s dad was great! 🙌🙌🙌
Her home is beautiful, Puerto Rico is so beautiful! I was there this summer and the air is so fresh, you breath real fresh air, so peaceful.
This is why its so important to show the person behind the face and the glitz and glam .... in love with her personality and inner beauty !!!! Great job Vogue
Viva el caribe !!! There's so much talent in our little region, loved this video 👏🏾👏🏾
Everything about this video is beautiful. The country, her story, her family, and Joan herself, inside and out ❤

This is the best British Vogue video I have ever seen. Joan Smalls is a compassionate, intelligent woman and a fantastic role model. Also, the family visit and the beauty of PR is astounding. Just absolutely wonderful to see.
I NEVER comment. But this is beautiful! Please do more on Joan! Longer! Weekly! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
These kind of models are the ones who deserve the most recognition, should be the real role model of the youth. So real, humble and smart.
This short-reportage about Joan Smalls is so refreshing and real. Nicely done Vogue ! More of inspiring content like this ! She is one humble and gorgeous lady !
Really happy to see this episode of Vogue, it really touched my soul. Please interview more people like Joan Smalls.
Her dad is still very handsome!

The Birds gracias hope you can come and enjoy the island.
Your comment is beautifully crafted. Thanks
Her dad should teach Kendall Jenner how to walk
Men should not teach women how to walk.
@@Michelle-pn9xt Most of the runway coaches are men so......
@@2damnfunny Well, they should not be.
@@Michelle-pn9xt dont be sexist michelle.
She is gorgeous and loved her talking to her friend at the beginning
This is amazing! She makes us Puerto Rican’s so proud. Such a beautiful soul. I mean who had the nerve to dislike this video smh
Te amamos Joan! You are so beautiful and such a role model! Los jibaros estamos orgullosa/o de ti!!! 🇵🇷🐸
I like Joan more after watching this interview.
戴致洋 I can totally relate
Wow I am in tears 😭 this is so beautiful and I am so happy to see this beautiful woman who I share my heritage with showing our beautiful island to the world. My heart is so filled with love thank you vouge 💙
This is so so so pure! I feel her! Greatest video Vogue has ever published!
Puerto Rico is beautiful 🇵🇷🌴
So authentic, so real and so many important lessons and messages. Very well done Vogue. Joan, your vulnerability is beautiful ❤️
I have more respect for this model now more than ever. Way to go Joan, you made your parents proud. God bless you and your family!!!
alright vogue, you convinced me...joan is my new girl crush
that is all
I salute you mama!!! A great example of knowing where you come from and working hard to get where you want to go. Would love to see more of women like you modeling.
This made me happy today.. such genuineness. I wish her family a lifetime of happiness 😇
Between this and the model series I'd like Vogue to refund me for my tears. I cry all the time
I adore her 😍😍😍 By that I mean her humour, personality, not just looks, her mindset. Everything

I absolutely love the authenticity and initimacy of this video. Adoro a Joan Smalls!
Love her personality. Very naturally pretty and tall
Joan is a sweetheart 💜
And OMG I love her Dad 😩😍
she is sooo beautiful and down to earth! This "super model roots" is such a beautiful idea! Thanks Vogue!
Edward is really killing it as editor, I love the revamp and how we are getting to know more of the women behind the model.
So real and resilient. Always love her. Watched her on Runways and campaigns and followed her on Insta and never looked back :)
Wow-she's so beautiful and so humble! I've always seen her face, but never knew her story. It makes he even more beautiful 🙂
Wow...I’m really impressed by this young, brave woman and her love for our country. You are a beautiful both spiritually and physically. Thank God for your mom and Dad. I wish you lots of success.
