Even if you didn’t binge-watch 'Love Island USA' Season 7 last summer, you’ve probably seen Olandria Carthen pop up on social media.
Though she didn’t win the season, Carthen was the breakout star of the franchise, immediately becoming a fan favorite not just for her style, sparkle, and storyline, but also because of how open and vulnerable she was about representing dark-skinned Black women on reality TV.
When playing TIME’s game of telephone on at Thursday night's TIME100 Creators Party with Julian Shapiro-Barnum, she put it simply, “I broke the standard." See more from the celebration here: https://t.co/q3rbUG5E71
So excited for tonight! If we don’t see Olandria before 5 PM EST, start using the tag at 5 PM EST, not before! It’s #OlandriaxTime100. The keywords: OLANDRIA TIME100. If we are correct and she is wearing Mugler, we can use OLANDRIA MUGLER TIME100 as well. DO NOT USE TAGS UNTIL THE SPECIFIC TIME.
