Appearing on Jameela Jamil’s iWeigh podcast on Friday, Bergdorf described the shift in rhetoric which had occurred within the Black Lives Matter movement – and what this means for how society moves forward.

“It makes me so happy [to see the change] because I never thought that this was going to happen to our community,” she said. “But I feel the difference now is that we’re not speaking about awareness, we’re speaking about action. We’re speaking about what we’re demanding.

“We’re demanding respect – we’re not asking for respect or tolerance any more.”
