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

Hi, my name is Amanda. I am 21 years old but sometimes my soul feels wiser than my physical age. I love to travel and experience everything life has to offers, I feel extra grateful for all the opportunities in my life being that I was born in Cuba and came to America at a young age, I was never sure if my dreams would be accomplished. Modeling is a perfect form of self expression and representation of a dream come true.

Tell us about your modeling experience.

My modeling experience is brief, it started when I was 15 and I met a photographer who made me believe that I had what it takes and now she is someone I get to call a friend. After the first photoshoot I later on filmed a commercial that took a little over 3 days to complete for a Spanish channel and after that I continued to express myself through the lens of my photographers camera. I filed another commercial not too long ago and just hope to keep filming and shooting.

What is your biggest dream?

My biggest dream is being able to develop modeling into a career and serve as a representation for Latina women in the industry. Retiring my mom and being able to help others.

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

Being your own kind of beautiful means you know you’re beautiful and don’t have a worry about what others have to say! To not be afraid of being your best self.

How would you describe your fashion style?

My fashion style is very broad, I can go from street styles to editorial with no problem. I also like some room for comfort and laid back outfits.

Who or what inspires you?

My biggest inspiration is and always will be my mom. I cannot put into words how amazing and hard working she is, truly a gem to look up to and words just don’t do her justice.

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

My best advice is to just believe in yourself. Believing in yourself is the key to it all, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

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

Obstacles come and go. It’s all about how you overcome them and find the power in yourself to keep going, you are loved and you are valued, that alone can keep positivity going.

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

What makes me beautiful is feeling and believing I am beautiful. Always trying my best to make a statement and let my presence be known.

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

Just know that you are your own kind of beautiful, and you have it in yourself to keep pushing and growing. You are one of a kind.
