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

My name is Caprice Setlock and I’m from the Buffalo area of New York. I am 15 years old and will turn 16 on November 23rd. I will be a highschool junior this 2021-2022 school year. My parents never got married, and frankly dislike eachother quite a bit so i have always been back and forth between houses. My dad’s house is in downtown Buffalo while my moms is 20 minutes away in the suburbs. I have switched to many different schools and have been all over the area. Something many people don’t know about me just by looks is that i am part Asian. My grandmother on my moms side was born and raised in South Korea and i have many family members there! I actually travelled there myself with my grandmother, grandfather, and my sister for 3 weeks a few summers ago and i would love to go back. I love embracing my culture and its something I would love to share with everyone because it is truly something beautiful. I am a very outgoing person once you get to know me and i love trying new things and going places. I have never really been an athletic person, however I have been going to the gym 3-4 times a week to work on myself as a person both physically and emotionally. I love talking and sharing stories and i hope one day I can tell the world about myself.

Tell us about your modeling experience. 

I have had no real modeling experience, but I’ve always had an interest in it. I have a love for creativity and I very much enjoy taking photos, even if i don’t necessarily know where to place my hands. I have always loved doing makeup since I was young and I like incorporating it into the photos I take. Even though i may not be sure of what to do, I am still very determined to figure it out.  

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is probably just simply to become successful and be in a stable place. My mom never had someone else to rely on for money or stability, and she had to take care of me and my sister. My sister’s dad was never involved, and i would see my dad half the time. My mom never made a lot of money and when i was born my sister was still 11. I just want to be able to have a stable life when I am older so I could give to people, instead of just barely having enough money for bills.

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

Being my own kind of beautiful in my opinion is really embracing yourself as you are. Everyone is beautiful in their own way like I am, and I have learned to be thankful for what God gifted me with. Life is truly a blessing and realizing how great I am is what helped me with a lot of self image issues in the past.

How would you describe your fashion style?

I would describe my fashion style as very diverse. I love all different types of styles, and I like incorporating different things to make my look interesting. I don’t dress in one specific color I try to really wear all sorts of fashion in a way that makes me feel confident. At the end of the day, my style is really persuaded by what makes me feel good, and what makes me feel like myself. 

Who or what inspires you?

There’s not one specific person or thing that inspires me, it really all depends on what I’m doing honestly. I even inspire myself sometimes like to really put my creativity out there. My friends inspire my to truly be who I am. My mom inspires my to be kind to everyone and express emotions. I gain inspiration from every aspect of my life that I can’t pick just one thing.

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

Honestly just to go for it. I never thought i could become a model, but if you have the determination and confidence, you can really make yourself something you never thought you could be!

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

The biggest bump I faced mentally was the hate and body shaming that I would constantly face for about 3 years. Whether it was classmates in school or everyone else outside of school I would be told how I was “too skinny” or that I “needed to eat” and it really made me think there was something wrong with me. Along with criticism about my weight, I would be shamed for my figure, and that i was “built like a box” or “flat”. It got so bad where i would catch kids taking pictures of me just to make fun of the way I looked with others, and I always let it get to me and I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror without hating who I was. I eventually got over it, I took time but now I don’t listen to everyone else around me and I don’t need their validation to feel beautiful because I know that I am.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

What makes me beautiful is a complex question. I believe every single aspect about me makes me beautiful. Whether it’s my laugh, or the way I portray myself, or just my heart, everything adds up to create a masterpiece of a person. 

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

My advice would be to just think and act like you are the best person in the room. That’s what I did. I would be around all these people that made me so insecure so I put my chin up and acted like I was confident, even If I wasn’t. After doing that often you really start to feel that way, and truly become confident. The positivity is what to focus on. There will always be negativity in the world, but really embracing the good things about yourself, and finding your worth is the best thing for yourself.
