Tell us about yourself
I am from Atlanta, Ga. I currently attend college where I am majoring in Sociology. I participated in my very first fashion show in 2015 and fell in love with the runway!
What is your biggest dream?
My biggest dream is to go international. I want to not only travel the world but also show off my talent while doing so. I also want to help others in life. After graduating college I want to have a career that will for sure help others in need while still continuing my modeling career.
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
To be your own kind of beautiful is to not compare yourself to others, meaning love yourself and your flaws because you’re one of a kind. It also means to believe in yourself and master any talent that God gave you.
Tell us about your modeling experience.
I have participated in numerous of runway fashion shows including Mardi Gras themed, Fashion in Elegance, Summer Fling Fashion, etc. I have done print modeling for clothing brands and hair companies. I have also participated in events as a Brand Ambassador.
What is your dream brand to model for?
SAVAGE X FENTY by Rihanna
How would you describe your fashion style?
My fashion style includes all the latest purses and handbags. I don’t have a particular style but you will always catch me with a handbag!
How important is self-awareness and confidence to you in your everyday life?
Having self confidence is key, especially as a model. Having that confidence in yourself everyday goes a long way in the modeling industry. Your confidence may rub off on others around you that may not have that self confidence in their self.
What makes you beautiful/handsome?
What makes me beautiful is not only my physical appearance, but also me as a person. My heart is pure and very passionate for not only my loved ones, but for anyone in need.
What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence.
PUSH THROUGH! There was a point in my life where I lacked a lot of self confidence but once you start loving yourself and all of your flaws, your confidence will build. Love everything that God gave you. You’re Beautiful!
