How long have you been modeling?
I’ve been modeling a few years now. It started off slow at first but that was because I was just starting out of course.
Why did you get into modeling?
I did a test shoot for a friend back in 2005. She was learning photography and needed a subject. I had so much fun with it I started to think….I believe we all think about things we have wanted to eventually do or try. Then wonder if it is possible. I wanted to pursue something that I always thought about doing whether as a career or just on the side. Time finally allowed me to try it.
What motivated you or gave you the push to pursue modeling?
I saw there were young women like me working hard and still doing what they wanted to do. In life it is about what makes you happy. I was getting told constantly that it was something I should consider so I decided to go ahead and jump.
What was your first shoot?
My first shoot was a fashion shoot set in Georgetown (Washington DC). A local designer wanted models for his line and selected me and another woman. We shot on location.
Were you nervous?
I was very nervous because we were outside for one! I had never done that before. We had to change outside and everything. There would be one or two people that would pass by here and there. Then I wanted to make sure I gave him exactly what he was looking for so my focus was scattered and nerves were just a mess!
The end result was fine at the time but that was years ago and I’ve definitely improved on poses, expressions etc. I can really sell an outfit now.
Is there a theme, concept, or certain outfit that you want to try out in a shoot?
There are so many! As far as themes/concepts I’d love to do something different with lots of necklaces and accessories only. That could be an ad for jewelry or make up even. I also want to try a concept that involves me in a long beautiful couture dress but the location has to be in like woods or near a river, sitting in front of a barn on a haystack even! Something that makes my outfit really stand out!
Do you go to school? If so, what school and what major?
I am taking courses towards my Masters in Education at Strayer University. I have 6 classes left until I finish!
Do you have any other hobbies, interests, or talents? If so what are they?
I love spending time with my family. I also enjoy food very much so I love to eat out and try new recipes. I also coach the hip hop dance team at the school I work at. Practices are after school and the team performs at the school’s football and basketball games, assemblies, and I like for them to do community events as well. I’ve been coaching for six years now and I love it. I love working with the teenagers (grades 9-12) and I like the fact that I give them something to look forward to. They enjoy it and every year I’ve been pleased.
What are your measurements?
32-24-26
What do you feel comfortable wearing? Dress up or Dress down?
I love jeans and tanks! I slip on jeans and depending on my mood I can do cute flats or flashy heels. I prefer heels of course. That outfit is cute dressed up or down…simple and comfortable as well.
Do you act as well? If not would you consider getting into it?
I don’t act but I’ve thought about it. Contrary to what some may believe, modeling actually is acting in itself. When the photographer instructs you to give him a certain look, you immediately have to be able to give him that!
Who would you like to work for? With?
I’d love to print/ad work for maybe at least 1 high fashion designer and then I’m so content with modeling for companies like Guess, Nordstrom, etc. I did model for South Moon Under a few times and it was a wonderful experience.

"Louboutins with the red bottom." I swear that Jay-Z line always gets stuck in my head. So I was recently looking through heels on the site, doing a little window shopping and fell in love with these four heels.
These caught my attention in .5 seconds.
Nice and classic, I love it.
These are my favorite pick!
I want these in every color.
"Already Taken" Trey Songz
I recently heard this song off a post someone put up on Tumblr. Its rare I like Trey Songz songs, but I really like this one.

Dea Pierre interview with Great Scott
I did this interview ages ago, luckily he didn't cut off my head for taking so long lol. But I got to do an interview with Great Scott and I'm so thankful for it, he's such an insightful and inspirational person. This is the longest interview I've done by far, but it's such a good one, I got like 1500 new quotes thanks to this guy, almost everything he states has to end with a quote or just something re memorable. I don't know why but this Q&A has been stuck in my head for a minute:
Dea: What's your favorite color?
Scott: I like five favorite colors, black, white, red, purple, and Louis Vuitton brown.
I did this interview to bring light to people who don't know him, but in the process I learned A LOT as an individual breaking into the fashion world/industry. I know anyone out there into fashion as well will find his words helpful. He's a character. Enjoy my interview with Great Scott and make sure you check out theliasongroup.com!

I've been living in the Bronx for about two years now, and I sorta been MIA from Brooklyn. So this past Friday I decided to kick it with my friends Nijsha, Lyz, and Ant.
