Say My Name

Nicknames can be fun, but name-calling is often downright mean. Joshua Cintrón, a photographer out of Brooklyn, N.Y., goes head to head with Jennie to compare the best, worst, and ugliest things they’ve been called just for lacking pigment. Host description:  Jennie is a woman with shoulder-length white-blonde hair, strong glasses with purple rims. She has very pale skin and wears light makeup.
