Former Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson said she self-downgraded from first class during a flight to Italy after facing “micro-aggressions” from a male flight attendant.
Karefa-Johnson, who has styled Kamala Harris and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, wrote on Threads that she “downgraded myself to business class” on a flight to Milan for Fashion Week.
“In a cabin of 6, 5 of the passengers were white middle-aged men… then there was me, a 30-something black woman who travels in that cabin often,” she wrote on Wednesday (February 24).
