It's been a whole year already... Yikes!!! Let me tell ya'll...Last year ya girl was busy with fashion shows, and had just began to start traveling, then Covid-19 hit us. So with that being said I will get you caught up on what I've been doing since October of 2019 until now. So I compiled some highlights of my modeling journey and below is a vintage couture look from II Kute IV U Boutique. I wore this to the 2019 Achi Awards, up for the nomination "Model of the Year.” This was definitely a Stunner! Draped in a black sequin dress with cut out gloves, a high bun on the side and a Fabulous wide big bow belt.

November 2019 was my first year to walk Virginia Fashion Week held in Virginia Beach, VA for some amazing Designers! From left to right I am wearing Letwa Collection's Pink and Green Ombre' Sequin Dress. Second, is Brittani Ariana's chic (named after me) the "Epiphany" Short Suit Set in a mint green color.. Next is Willie Hall who featured her Dabney Collection inspired by the late Virginia Beach model Jeanette "Cookie" Dabney. This was such an honor to wear this sleek one shoulder modern dress in honor of a Legend. Lastly, I am wearing Brehon Williams an A line skirt with a split up the leg and a beautiful ruffled sleeved top that flowed to the ground. I did get to walk for the owner of II Kute IV U Boutique by Rose J Collection but it is not featured due to an upcoming documentary.

In February 2020 I went to NYC. I had not been there since 2001 when I was in the military. So it was liberating to be back in the city that never sleeps! While there I walked for SBFWNY (Small Boutique Fashion Week NY) for the Designer Rose J Collection and Sharon Franks Collection... I also got to shoot for Rose J as well in many locations while there. Below are the other models and myself posing in the window at one of the retail stores I Love NY in Times Square NY. It was one of my best experiences ever that l will always treasure!!!

As a Brand Ambassador of II Kute IV U Boutique I was able to travel back to NYC at the end of February going into March with Evelyn Rose, Hair 4 U International salon owner, my Stylist and Designer Rose J for the Portfolio Madness 2 networking event in Long Island City Queens, NY. This was a great event to network and take unlimited photos to build my portfolio with some amazing photographers..

As Covid-19 begin to make its way globally, many of us artist/creatives and models found it challenging to continue doing what we love as the country began to shut down. Back in May to mid June. I was reluctant to be invited by the Wardrobe Stylist, Fashion Coffee to participate in her Season 1 Virtual Fashion Show for Models. We had 6 weeks of runway walks to compete from Classic Walk to Pose. We had to be able to produce a different style of walk and be creative by doing so. I was able to win 3 of the weekly challenges and become the overall 2020 Virtual Fashion Show Finale Winner! It was such an honor to be creative on this platform in the comfort of my own home. This was showcased on Zoom and uploaded to YouTube at Fashion Coffee. You can check out my weekly looks I was able to put together below:
Top row left to right is Classic, Urban, Slay & Pose.
Bottom row left to right is Show us your Pride & Finale week where we had to walk all of the different styles one last time! :)
