Read MoreTo me, being your own kind of beautiful means to take the things you hide from the world and turn them into your new normal. Lead by example and with confidence and always remember that if you’re happy, that’s all that matters.

Read MoreMy advice to someone getting started in the modeling industry is to just keep fighting. Always do your best even when no one is around.

Read MoreSelf praise is important and the only way of fixing your self confidence is by accepting yourself for the way you are. I would ask them about what their passionate about and tell them to use their passion for the greater good and search into the difference they can make.
Read MoreWould you talk to your best friend or younger self the way you talk to yourself now? The answer is probably no. You’re most likely not going to talk down to someone you love, so why would you talk down to yourself? Confidence is a mindset, and once you flip the switch you’ll really see how everything around you changes in a positive way. One thing that really helps me is repeating positive affirmations daily.
Read More--Look back at an old picture of yourself, one where you looked happiest. What were you thinking at that moment? was it: "man, I will never be as cool as the popular kids" or "wow, I really should not have eaten that bowl of cereal this morning". No. You were happy because you were doing something fun, something that you enjoyed and at that moment, nothing else mattered, not the self-confidence, not the "I'm laughing too loud and someone will find it obnoxious", it was the fact that you were genuinely being yourself and that is the most important thing you can do. If you are struggling with self-confidence, open your eyes. Everyone is, but that does not mean that you should cower away and hide, it means that you should give yourself the opportunity to have that childlike wonder that you once had, just find it, smile, and stop apologizing for being the most beautiful, unique version of yourself.

Read MoreTo be your own kind of beautiful is to be undeniably true to yourself. As cliché as it sounds, it’s very true. Growing up as an Asian American that was surrounded by Eurocentric beauty standards, it was very hard to accept myself. Along with the racist remarks I’d deal with on a daily basis and the assumptions of what an “Asian” should look like. But recognizing what makes you unique from all the others & owning it is already beautiful in itself.
Read MoreMy advice to someone who is starting to get into modeling is to not think you don’t have a chance because beauty has all types of standards and not everyone likes the same looks so you do have the opportunity.
Read MoreI believe the way I carry myself makes me beautiful. I am not ashamed of any part of myself. I take pride in being who I am (inside and out). My resilience, empathy, friendliness, and imperfections make me beautiful as well. My imperfections only make me more human, which makes me more beautiful. I bounce back from any and everything and I feel feelings on this deep, deep level. My social skills as well as my empath skills make me approachable, and reliable which I find to be beautiful traits alongside my confidence that radiates.

Read MoreSomething I would tell someone my age that is struggling with their confidence would be to be selfish. There is nothing wrong with doing things that make you feel good or benefit you in any way, especially if that thing can help with your confidence. Also do not compare yourself to people, there will always be someone who is bigger, better, prettier,etc. That does not matter because you are only seeing one side of that person and internally they may be struggling with the same exact thing that you are. Always love yourself at the end of the day you only have yourself.
Read MoreOwning every part of who you are without wavering. One lesson I have learned in life is that not everyone is going to see the value in me. I have to have unwavering love and confidence for myself regardless of who does not. Being my own kind of beautiful means to love me and to stand true in that.
Read MoreI would advise staying true to yourself and to your work and post on what makes you
comfortable and happy. Not just thinking about the money but how you feel about a certain

you’ll find your audience and fit in with those who accept you for you and what’s meant for
you will always find you.

Read MoreFigure out your “why?” because that’s going to get you through the times when no one is calling you back. Will you still want this if for 6 months you are not getting paid? Learn not to take rejection personal: it’s a blessing in the redirection, research the types of modeling, see which ones are in your market/area, connect with photographers in your area, write down your realistic goals, test shoot, practice posing, and have fun with it! “Why so serious?”
