This was taken at 3am in Atlanta. Thinking about her today. The girl who was relentless about wanting to be a model. So hungry to make it. And willing to try every form, every push, every angle to get in. So proud of her.

I remember being so nervous about my hair at this shoot. And now when I look back at these pictures I’m like wow. She’s such a pretty girl ♥️

This was the shoot that made me and Dionysius Burton friends 🙏🏽

One of my fave photographers at the time took this, and can you believe I thought I wasn’t skinny enough here?!

I got to model SO many different versions of myself. What a blessing.

First modeling agency glammed me for hair magazine and I was so obsessed with my hair from then on.

I don’t even know how old this is. But whew, my hair really tells a story lol.

I didn’t know it then, but girl you were born for greatness 🫂

Sometimes the people around you won’t understand the dream because it wasn’t given to them. ✨

So dream big. Be a little delusional. Bet on yourself. And surround yourself with people who don’t make you explain why you believe you can.

And if you have a girl in your life chasing something big? Root for her LOUDLY. She’ll remember who clapped before everyone else did. 🤍

🔥🔥

Realistic according to who? Your dream doesn’t have to make sense to everyone else.

But babe… what if it does? Don’t let fear write the ending before you even begin.

Maybe I am. 💅🏽 But a big life might require a little “too much.”

Having options is smart. Planning for yourself to fail before you start? Not so much.

Probably. 😂 Chasing something you really want can be exhausting. Tired doesn’t mean done.

Someone said single photos were back 🌊🐠💧

Just a pretty girl building & blooming. 🌸✨
the rest of 2026 is going to be so so good. 🫶🏽
