Tell us about yourself:
My name is Savannah B. and I am originally from Houston, Texas. I am currently living in Oklahoma to attend the University of Oklahoma for a bachelors degree in psychology. I am 20 years old and have been in the modeling industry for about 5 years now and have participated in New York Fashion Week and LA Fashion Week, as well as numerous photoshoots in multiple locations. I currently work two jobs, one as a server and the other as a gymnastics coach. I love being around people and I enjoy being with kids and helping them achieve their goals, especially since I was once in their shoes. I love traveling as I have grown up constantly going somewhere whether it be for sports or family or photoshoots or competitions.
Tell us about your modeling experience:
I have been modeling since 8th grade. It started out as a couple photoshoots here and there for fun until I was offered to fill a position in New York Fashion week back in 2018. From there I got a follow up offer to walk in LA Fashion Week the following month. I met some great people from these experiences and started getting involved with photoshoots with Prestige Top Model. I competed in one of their competitions and won my age division, and following that I attended a couple of New York Fashion Weeks with this company as well including this past Fashion Week.
What is your biggest dream?
My biggest dream is to be a print/editorial or runway model. I never knew I had such a passion for modeling until I got into it. I fell in love with it and doing it makes me never want to stop. Outside of modeling, I dream of becoming a sports psychologist and being able to help athletes get over their own thoughts and help them achieve the confidence they need.
What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?
To be your own kind of beautiful means to be yourself. Don’t be what everyone else thinks is beautiful or pretty, you don’t have to impress anyone or prove yourself to anyone except yourself. Why try to be like everyone and match the “perfect” image when being yourself is so much better. If you live and look the way you feel best and you will look the best.
How would you describe your fashion style?
I would describe my fashion style as trendy yet comfy. I am one to love being comfortable when I go to run errands or go to my classes or go grab coffee, however I still strive to look good while doing so. As much as I love being comfortable, I also love dressing up. I love dressing in a clean high fashion style and looking my best when I go out to dinner or out with friends or family. I try to stay within the trends while being comfy and looking good and dressing up.
Who or what inspires you?
The one person that inspires me the most is my mom. Through all that we have been through together, being able to watch her push through and come back stronger every single time inspires me to be the best version of myself that I can be. She encourages me and supports me in everything I do, and she has never failed to be by my side. I am grateful to have such a strong and independent woman in my life as she continues to inspire me daily.
What advice would you give to someone just getting started in modeling?
My advice to someone that is just starting out with modeling is to keep trying. It is not just going to come to you, you have to go to them, put yourself out there and show them who you really are. Don’t pretend you are someone you aren’t and don’t sit and wait for things to happen. Go out there and make them happen and push yourself, go out of your comfort zone a little bit and put yourself out there to reach that goal.
Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life:
One obstacle in my life that I have overcome is growing up without a dad. My parents got divorced when I was 8 and I didn’t realize it then but as I got older I realized how toxic and cruel he was to me and my mom. Growing up with someone that constantly puts you down and tells you your not good enough does tremendous things to our self-esteem. I continue to live through it, but I know better now than to give in and believe the things he says to me. I am overcoming this daily and excepting that some people are better left out of your life. This experience has shaped me by making me stronger, putting more trust in myself and not basing my confidence on what others think or say to me. I am more independent and I know my self-worth. Another obstacle I have overcome since I was little is bullying. I have been bullied since elementary school and been put down and told this and that and people have been jealous of me and the things I did or do and came at me for it. Going through this has made me strong and made me realize that you never know what goes on behind closed doors, you don’t know what people are dealing with. I also realized that a lot of the times, the things people bully you for is really a reflection on themselves and sometimes what they can’t have. I’ve learned to stand strong and be proud of who I am and what I do.
What makes you beautiful?
What makes me beautiful is my personality. I get along great with other people and I am always one to encourage and support others to do their very best and do everything they can to accomplish their goals. I have a big heart, I’m genuine, kind and I care a lot about other people. I always try to see the good in people and be a positive influence on those in my life. I do what I can do build others up and make them feel good about themselves.
What would you say to someone who is struggling with their confidence?
If another girl was struggling with her confidence I would look at her and tell her how absolutely beautiful she is. I would help her realize what she’s made of, what she is capable of, and to prove anyone wrong that doesn’t see it in her. To hold her chin up and fake it until she makes it, until she finally feels that confidence within herself. Fake the confidence, because before you know it you will begin to gain it, begin to realize that you are worth it. You deserve so much, you owe it to yourself to believe that you can do whatever you set your mind to.
