A WOMAN who loves being a Barbie and wearing pink has revealed why she stopped for an entire year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Charlotte Ann, regularly shares snippets of her life and culture within the gypsy community.<\/p>\n


\n<\/p>\n

Charlotte, who is well known for her love of Barbie and all things pink<\/span> revealed there was a time when she stopped and wore only black for an entire year.<\/p>\n

Posting to TikTok, she said: "Why are my outfits always black? Traveller edition."<\/p>\n

the red-head beauty revealed there was a very good reason for ditching her usual colourful wardrobe.<\/p>\n

She explained that in their culture the women wear black clothes for 12 months after a family member has died to signify they are in mourning.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a gypsy and I swear by a \u00a33.50 buy to get rid of water marks on my sink<\/h3>\n

"It is to show respect to the person that died and to show the world you are in mourning," she added.<\/p>\n

Charlotte added that depending on how close you were to the person who died you may only wear black for three months.<\/p>\n

In the clip, she showed an array of images of herself dressed in all-black outfits.<\/p>\n

In one she wore a fluffy black coat and in another, she dressed up in a tight crop top and shorts set.<\/p>\n

The clip posted to her TikTok account @charlotteann00 garnered a wide response from followers who shared their own traditions.<\/p>\n

One person wrote: "For us, it\u2019s 40 days to a year."<\/p>\n

Another commented: "That's so sweet though, lovely tradition."<\/p>\n

"I learnt something new, I love learning about new cultures," penned a third.<\/p>\n

Charlotte has made a name for herself on TikTok as she continues to educate people on the traveller and gypsy community and the prejudice they still face.<\/p>\n

In another clip, Charlotte debunked a common misconception people had about matchmaking within her community.<\/p>\n

While many assume there are lots of arranged marriages, Charlotte revealed it couldn't be further from the truth.<\/p>\n

She also hit back at mean trolls who claimed her community didn't pay their way.<\/p>\n

But Charlotte, who is a social care worker pointed out that the woman couldn't have been more wrong.<\/p>\n

She revealed that just because she left school at the age of 11, following gypsy traditions, it didn't mean she had no qualifications.<\/p>\n

Charlotte explained: "I have a list of qualifications, I also work in the\u00a0health\u00a0and social sector, and I'm a support worker for people with learning disabilities.<\/p>\n

"Before that, I was in\u00a0dementia\u00a0care and I also done palliative care.<\/p>\n
