Tell us about yourself (where are you from, age, whatever you want to add)

My name is Kathryn and I am 18 years old. I was born and raised in Dominican Republic so I grew up speaking Spanish most of my life and was also raised in a Christian household. Most of my family either knows how to sing, dance, play instruments etc so I grew up dancing and singing but I always had this idea in my head that I was going to be a fashion designer and model my own clothes. 

Tell us about your modeling experience. 

I have always loved takings pics of myself but I did a photoshoot in the past however it ended up not getting anywhere so I’m pretty new at this and I’m so excited to finally be getting started. 

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is to become a fashion designer/stylist as well as a model, specifically runway. 

What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?

To be your own kind of beautiful means to be the best version of yourself at all times. It means to be confident in your own skin and be true to yourself. We tend to limit ourselves at times because we think we are not good enough and think we have to be perfect, but a women with confidence and love for herself is my definition of true beauty and perfection. 

How would you describe your fashion style?

Fashion is a part of me so I always try to go out of my comfort zone and make a statement by being unique but I would say streetwear fashion is what I wear out the most. 

Who or what inspires you?

I grew up having extreme depression/social anxiety so due to my dad being kind of a public figure it has definitely helped me get out of my comfort zone a lot and he along with my mother have taught me so much so they are honestly my heroes. 

What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?

Don’t be scared and just start! My whole life I have been an over thinker and I know what it feels like to hold back from your dreams because you don’t want to make a mistake. So any person that’s reading this that is hesitating, don’t! Get started follow your dream and if it doesn’t work out get up and try again because you will succeed. 

Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.

When I was born I wasn’t supposed to walk, so If it wasn’t for gods mercy I would not be here. I also grew up with what people like to now call fluency disorder and my social anxiety would make me even more scared to speak but as I kept growing up I realized little by little i started to speak just fine and now I can say that’s gone. Being diagnosed with social anxiety as a teenager was not easy and there’s still some hard days which is completely normal and I’m so proud of myself for overcoming everything thrown my way because now I am unapologetically myself and ready to expand. 

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

I would say my heart/morals. People around me always talk about the heart I have and that is because I try to stay as humble as possible at all times. Also respect is extremely important to me because when I was little my parents always said treat others how you want to be treated because respect will take you a long way so I try to live by that. 

What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence 

Don’t forget that It’s okay to have bad days. What matters is what you do the next day to bounce back and not let it get to your head. Take time for you to reflect, work on yourself and wake up everyday saying: I am the best version of myself and I am beautiful inside and out because I am gods creation.
