I’m very excited to be selected as a Model In Focus for the September edition of EM (Explore Modeling) Magazine.
For those who are interested in learning more about how to start a career in modeling, this site has been extremely helpful in regards to learning about agencies, castings and portfolio presentation (among other tips). Cristina DeHart is a fellow model who knows the industry very well and created the site as a tool for those who are interested in learning more about the industry so definitely check it out.

It’s been a LONG time since I’ve posted to the blog…believe me I know. I’ve thought about my lack of posts often, but I’ve had quite a few life transitions since then that have kept me busy:
1. I recently had a HUGE chunk of time open up since my term as chair of a large women’s organization is over (yes!) Please be careful about major time commitments outside of your full time work. I’m so enthusiastic that I will now have more time to focus on the things that I’m extremely passionate about.
2. I’m team natural (hair) after transitioning since October 2011 and finally doing the big chop on June 29th. I’m loving my hair kinks and all, but I’m definitely trying to see where it will fit in when it comes to shoots/castings. For one, I know that constantly using heat on my hair will not be an option! I definitely plan on going wig shopping soon.
3. I’ve been writing articles on natural skin and haircare, brainstorming topics that I think people will want to read about and focusing on making some big changes to Model The Face. More is definitely coming soon!
The photos are from a recent video shoot that I did for Kolton.J jewelry. CEO Jenny Schretter welcomed me with open arms (natural hair and all) and for that I’m truly grateful! I love Jenny’s gorgeous pieces and the fact that she is a female entrepreneur makes me want to support her work even more.
To see more behind the scene photos and jewelry visit Kolton.J here.
Those are a few of my updates. What’s been going on with you all?

Transition.
The filmmaker Zina Saro-Wiwa presents an Op-Doc on black women’s decision to embrace their naturally kinky hair, rather than use chemical straighteners. Read the full article and support Zina’s Op-Doc here.
I thought that this was a great Op-Doc and found myself wishing that it was a little longer. Typically I’ve noticed that people are able to make/keep major life changes when they have a deeply rooted long term goal. For example, many of these women are transitioning due to health related concerns. I’m happy to see that more women are being more pro-active and are learning about the ingredients that are in today’s beauty/hair products.
At the end of the day, be healthy and true to you however that may manifest itself.

Why does it have to be so complicated?

I’m a weird kid. Always have been, always will. So what? It takes way more work to be anyone else. And I’ve already wasted too many years trying to...
