How long have you been modeling?

I've been modeling seriously, for about 2 years now.


What made you decide to pursue a career in modeling?

Being a model has always been a 'childhood' dream of mine.


What impact has modeling had on your personal life?

It has increased both my confidence and popularity.


  

Overall, what has been your opinion of the modeling industry as a whole?

The industry is what you make of it. There’s a good & bad side to it. I'm attempting to stay on the side that will leave me with my dignity when everything's said and done.


What do you intend to gain or get out of your career in modeling?

I want to see just how far I can take it. I'd like to make as many friends and as much money as possible along the way.


What can visitors expect when they visit your website?

They can expect a very sexy and classy site.


Have strangers started approaching you on the street because they've seen your website and how does that make you feel?

Yes, I’ve been approached & I was a both surprised and flattered.


What are some of the projects you're currently working on?

Right now I hope to work with fashion designer Saccrick Battee and some upcoming designs he’s working on. I also plan to hook up with the MDP Management Group out of Houston, TX. I'm also looking to network with people in the entertainment industry.


What are your turn-ons?

I like sweet, sincere, and compassionate men. I'm also attracted to nice arms, abs, and a cute face.


  

What are your turn-offs?

Men that are disrespectful and harsh language.


Name some things you couldn't live without?

God, family, and LifeTime TV! :)


How would you describe your overall personality?

I think I’m hilarious, easy to get along with, and very compassionate.


Tell us one thing about yourself that tends to shock people once they get to know you personally?

That I’m down to earth & a bit spoiled.


What would you consider your greatest strength?

That would have to be my willingness to listen to advice. My dependability and the fact that I'm a fast learner!


What would you consider your greatest physical asset?

I have great legs!


  

What signals do you give to a man when you want him to make the first move?

A sweet smile & good conversation.


What signals do you give a man when you want him to stay away?

A sweet smile and telling him I’m married. :)


What is the one thing you wish all men knew about women?

Men should understand that women just want to be loved.


Give us an example of what you'd consider the perfect first date?

Dinner at a nice restaurant(or any couples activity)& great conversation.


Regarding the gentlemen you date, name one quality they must possess and why?

They must be honest. I despise a lying, game-playing man!


What are your opinions on the state of the black male today?

I say, as with any race, creed, or sex…there are some good ones & bad ones.


  

When a gentleman attempts to approach you in public, give us some advice on how it should be done?

Subtly, with respect and sincerity…don’t waste my time.


Give us a description of a normal evening at home with you?

When I make it home from work I take a minute to unwind. Then, depending on what day it is, I go work out for about 2hrs or cook...if I feel like it.


Overall today theres a lot of talk regarding sisters and the whole bisexual movement, if you want to call it that. What are your personal feelings regarding this rising 'phenomenon' among black women?

I don’t think this is a phenomenon, it’s just more acceptable today. I’m not interested in it personally, though.


What are your thoughts regarding brothers on the DL(Down Low)? This seems to be a growing issue with our sisters today.

I think that it is scary to know that somebody you love could be put in danger, just for a few minutes of pleasure. It really makes me wonder how far we will go to please ourselves. I also wonder if it's because sex with women has gotten to be boring for them.


Are there any current issues that the African-American community's dealing with that cause you the most concerns?

Our lack of knowledge in a lot of areas such as finance and health concern me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the race as a whole, but in general it seems like we don’t care to invest wisely in our health, finances or our future.


Ok...unfortunately there will always be 'haters' lurking around. Have you experienced that in your modeling endeavors and if so, how have you dealt with it?

I’ve had an occasional moment or two, but I keep my head up, be positive, be encouraging, and stay on the grind. I just have to remember that there are some who don’t like themselves & probably aren’t gonna like anybody who may be a threat.


  

What are some of your other interest outside of modeling?

I love being around my family(can’t stress that enough). I enjoy reading and watching anything that is scary. I also enjoy working out(I love me some Tae-bo), shopping, and eating out.


Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

At the rate I’m going...modeling will be a full-time career for me, and maybe a successful actress as well.


So in closing, what advice would you give to young women considering a career in modeling?

Ladies I must say: pray, stay positive, and take care of yourselves.
