MHP will obviously fill a role at ELLE that they seem to struggle with such as insensitive stories on race, culture and appropriation.
Hopefully, those blind spots will have a new set of eyes, but Perry has her own track record that will leave many wondering if she can or will make an impact at the often tone deaf publication.
