About Me

Once said to be a name waiting to be discovered, Renee Forde isn’t waiting around to be an overnight discovery, she is creating her passion. Born and raised in Toronto she developed a knack for writing, drawing and creative expression which lead to her collection of magazines, CDs, biographies, and anything entertainment. Drawn to Hip-Hop culture, moving images, storytelling, and the art of an interview she decided to develop her knowledge at college. While perusing a diploma in TV broadcast Journalism, she found some success as a local model working for Jay Manual, Russell Simmons, and Donald Trump. She also can be seen on print publications with Sun Newspaper-Sunshine Girl, Golden Queen, and Iskins. Now a recent college graduate with educational experience and hands on skills from Sun TV and Rogers Television she's has already turned her dream into reality as a story producer/reporter. With already having her work produced and published on air her passion for people and their stories is a personal inspirational conviction. With that being said, she’s simply just trying to live the phrase: “follow your passion.”
