Answer:

Russell wants people to realize that being a model isn't all that great. You are made out to be a person you aren't. She states that she hopes people realize there image is perceived in their successes and failures.

Answer:

What does Russell want people to take from her talk?

That looks aren't everything

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is based on the TED Talk video of Cameron Russell, an American fashion model. The video is titled "Looks aren't everything, believe me I´m a model". In the speech she talks about the role of looks and appearance in society, the impact it has in our lives and how she has managed to make a living out of it. She talks about the power of image, but also how superficial it is. She reveals how image is constructed by a large group of professionals in the industry she works in order to convey what they want, but in the end is a construction. She also talks about how people are judged based on their looks instead of who they are. Her finality in this talk is to make people more aware and comfortable with the power of image in our perceived successes and failures.
