I spent the best times playing with cousins in "The Gardens" on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois(that's where all my fam is from) But I was raised on the North Side of Chicago in the Edgewater neighborhood right in front of beautiful Lake Michigan. This is where I discovered, developed, & studied my craft of Art. I would sit in front of the window for hours, drawing. My sister and I were fancied with sketching our own fashion designs. We werent even school age when my sis made me some hot red pants with pockets from my Mom's old tights (Ofcourse it only took cutting in the pockets but there was a vision there-LOL!)
We moved to Humboldt Park on the West Side of the Chi' when I started High School. From Humboldt Park to the 60644 (Erie) is where I spent my adolescence. Constantly seeing a different vision of my life, observing my surroundings & the life and fate of others-wasn't satisfying to me. I challenged myself to do and be better. Which later inspired me to move to Los Angeles on a whim!
I began modeling in 2002 as a favor for a friend's friend from my college (IADT). After my lil cuz Sylvre taught me the "Model's T" everything else came naturally and I spent 4 years doing my thang in Chicago. I was the face of Inner Beauty Fashion Affair for two years, which gave me experience and exposure in Runway & Print, under the creative training of Mark David Carter (He's the Best!)
I recently received my first credit in production as an Art Director for the BET pilot "Da Network". Yaaaay!
I hope to be a blessing to others with my blessings.
Love L.A. but definitely miss Chi-Town FOOD!!
