Tention Free : Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your background, education, modeling passion etc. ??
Well I’m from coastal Georgia near Savannah , Ga 912 my up bringing wasn’t the worst but definitely had lots of bumps in the road I grew up around a street lifestyle before I go into that I want to say yes my mom and dad loves me my mom had me when she was 18 her and my dad were very young my dad was a really Big Time drug dealer in the area but the main reason I think my dad ever considered that lifestyle was to provide for his family which was me and my mom and also to take care of his mom which I call her my meme I stayed with her a lot throughout the years when I was little my cousins would all come over to my men’s house we would play fight , play games and just antagonize each other lol the main things I would reach for was the fashion magazines under the fish aquarium and I would sit there in a daze at how fashionable and dressed up those people were in the vogue magazine and I would say to myself one day this is going to be me I use to dress up in fur coats which were my dads sneak in his jewelry and wait for Lil Kim videos to come on 106 & Park to give a whole entire choreography mind you I’m only 4 doing this fast forward I became a little older puberty hit me I started to steal out of stores I would steal clothes , makeup , food etc I’m comfortable telling this story because that was my past at that time my dad was in prison and with my mom only having had 1 stream of income which was her only monthly SSD check sometimes things would come up and barely no money would be left then in high school I was always the best dressed in Friday’s and would receive compliments on my outfits I literally went on a shopping spree with a credit card that was tied to my Poshaccount I ordered so many wild crazy outfits and joggers and I remember I ordered some dolce and gabanna limited edition shoes I lost them after 9th grade sadly I drop out of school at the end of the 11th grade because me and my mom were having issues about my sexuality and I would stay at my friends hazel house all the time because me and my mom just couldn’t see eye to eye then near the end of the summer I went to stay with my grandma and I started working at McDonald’s which was my first job I said not going to work.
Then I started at Wendy’s for about 4 months left there and decided To Finish getting my GED then get a job that will pay better I received my GED then literally the month after a job that I felt changed my life was presented to me it was a virtual job due to that
Tention Free : We been hearing a lot about you, so we notice your starting to gain a lot of attention how does it feel?
You know attention is something anyone with a cute face can get as I’ve grown to learn humans lol but I’m not doing anything I do for attention it may come with the vision of it all but ultimately it’s all to make a better life for my family and myself of course nobody wants to struggle.
Tention Free : What kind of training have you had, if any ?
No serious training I’ve had a call from like Nine Modeling an Agency in Atlanta they are very firm on my coming to visit there office for a headshot and cat walk training they still email me but I’ve done some investigation and I don’t think that’s a great fit for me for personal reasons.
Tention Free : Any specific reason behind that, you want to venture into modeling?
I had a very big vision I’m a Aquarius so I think for the future I’m not that near sided I’m a natural creative thinker so my brand building now I have hopes to possibly turn it into modeling even if it’s not that I’m in a contract with a agency like I can open up for a collection or do a runway set.
Tention Free : What has been one of the most exciting achievements of your career so far ?
No super exciting achievements just yet I have noticed a lot of big fashion pages follow me so they say if your niche is following you obviously your doing something right I have some things up my sleeve.
Tention Free : What’s your goal in life you want to achieve next?
My next goal I would say is to create a moment that will go down in history
And venture into modeling and start a business.
Tention Free : What motivates you to do your best work ?
My biggest motivation is when I think back to how far I have come I’ve came along way something’s are even painful to talk about I’ve had people that I thought were my friends not truly be the friend I was to them and my mom and my family are a big motivation I go hard because I’m tired of my mom stressing she has to deal with being on disability on top of financial issues my grandma she supports my dad in prison financially and also have to pay tons of bills it’s a lot for her she’s getting older she’s definitely a trooper but I want better for my grandmother and my mom I feel like I owe them that much.
Tention Free : Everybody needs time out. What do you do in your free time?
