I can't speak to the truth of it, but that's what she tells me.

Maybe she just wasn't a very good designer? Just kidding, in a tough field like that it just takes a few road blocks to prevent you from making a living. It wouldn't have to be everyone not willing to hire her because of her race. Just enough to hinder her career.
