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.

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.
