I was inspired several years ago after seeing a model, Cindy Joseph, rock her natural hair. Transitioning into silver hair is not for the faint of heart. It’s hard to go through the ugly duckling stage. With persistent perseverance we begin to change from the inside. What emerges on the other side is a strong and confident woman ready to take on new and brave ideas.

After navigating through a series of events, I felt energized and learn to love myself as I am.
For me, a dream is coming true. I was first signed with AMAX in Nashville and SALT in Atlanta. Covid hit just a few months later. That first year was extremely slow and the work was almost nonexistent. I used that time to reflect on what I really wanted in this industry and decided it was time to put new eyes on me.

So the update is – I’m now signed as a model with TRIBE Talent Management in Nashville, TN.

Define Yourself ~

It’s not really about the hair. And yet, it is. It’s about empowering yourself and changing from within. It’s about being strong and looking inward to discover a woman that’s hidden away and waiting to emerge – like a butterfly. 
In 2012 (picture on the left), I decided to cut my hair short after my last hair coloring. What happened during the next couple of years would define me and make me ‘different’. I’m the same woman in both pictures, but I’m not the same person at all!
The woman in 2012 ( I was 57 years old), was trapped. I trapped myself in believing how others defined me. I was in an emotionally abusive relationship and I surrounded myself with toxic people – not understanding how damaging they were and I allowed it. I wasn’t strong enough to leave or stop it. 
Changing my hair color was just the beginning. When you hear years of ridicule because of who you are and then hear it again because your hair is turning is grey (when actually it turned grey years before – we just hide behind a mask of color), you have two choices. Either give in and let it define you or dig deep inside to find out who you really are. 
It’s now 2020, the woman on the right (age 65) is still a work in progress, but has found new love, a new career (I signed a modeling contract in 2019) and an entirely new life. And my hair is grey. Don’t let anyone define who you are.
