I submitted my pictures to agencies & they contacted me back.
What inspired you to be a model?
I always wanted to be since I was a little girl. Everyone told me I had "the look." I always wanted to be on the Tyra Banks show. As I got older & came out my style started to change. I know I'm different & I wanted to make a positive difference in the modeling industry. I also want to use being a model & becoming a public figure to help motivate others.

What’s your favorite part of being a model?
I love meeting new people & creating art. I love seeing the look on people's faces when they capture the pictures. I love seeing everyone do what they love to do. I haven't traveled yet but that will probably be my favorite thing to do.

Hip - Hop because there's always a different mood or flow. It could be serious, upbeat, or more mellow.
Your favorite food.

Most memorable shoot so far.
I really liked my shoot with Tony Duran. It was interesting because I'm not feminine at all & it was a really girly shoot. It was interesting & he's an amazing photographer. I also enjoyed working with Kela the MUA. She was really cool.

My job & my loved ones.
What comes next after modeling?
I hope to one day build my own brand and become an entrepreneur. I also want to be a motivational speaker.
