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

My name is Baylee Alesandra Marshall, I prefer to go by Alesandra. I am from a small town in Texas, growing up it was always a dream of mine to either model or act. I didn’t go to an actual college after high school, since there wasn’t anything I wanted to waste my time or money on. I did, however, go to beauty school. I was in love with make up and learning about skin, and it felt right. Now I am a licensed esthetician, but I work at Target, and still not doing what I really want to do, until now.

Tell us about your modeling experience. 

I have no experience in modeling, except for my photographer friends wanting to do photo shoots with me. 

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream has always been to walk in Fashion Week, whether it’s New York, Paris, or Milan.

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

Always be true to yourself, do what makes you feel beautiful and confident. Everyone is going to have their own opinion about you, but you can choose whether it affects you positively or negatively. 

How would you describe your fashion style?

I feel like my style changes rapidly, mostly depending on where I’m going, and who I’m with. But I always dress in whatever will make me feel great about myself. I’ve learned to not worry about if people stare at me because of my outfit, or if someone doesn’t like what Im wearing. It’s not their life, it’s mine.

Who or what inspires you?

My mother and my grandma definitely inspire me the most. They have been through so much in their life, and were able to keep me out of what they went through. My mom was a single parent, and had little help raising me, besides my grandma. They both look out for my well-being, and make sure I’m their top priority, even after being grown and moved out. 

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

The first agency you apply to probably won’t be the one to say yes, but that doesn’t mean you should just give up. You keep applying, and applying, to as many as you can. You will finally find the agency that wants you. 

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

When I was 18 I moved out to the city by myself. I was broke, depressed, and never had a meal in my fridge. I finally found a better paying job, made friends, and also moved into a cheaper place. That year I was in the city felt like the longest year of my life, and I didn’t know how I would get through it. But I pushed through, I stayed strong, and I’m doing a lot better now. Life is going to have rough patches, but you can’t give up on it, you have to keep going.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

I think my character makes me beautiful. I care about everyone around me, sometimes more than myself. I am very welcoming to new people I meet, and try to help them feel like they belong. 

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

Confidence is something that can be learned, I used to be a very insecure person, until I just started telling myself that I’m beautiful. I had the mindset everyday that I am beautiful, and I am enough, and soon enough it was true.
