What I’m about to say in this post may have a lot of power, but may also convey ignorance to some, but it’s my story to write that I hope will help others. All people in this industry will find themselves in the same position. “Am I selling myself or my body?” When I was younger, I didn’t foresee modeling as a career for myself. My self-esteem and sexuality was severely bruised by a lot of darkness, but when I saw what modeling brought to my life, I vowed to never let myself be taken there by myself or anyone else for that matter, again. In this industry, you get asked to do a lot that you are less to believe or sign papers to not speak of or stand your ground. You make face and body glorified work, arranging a perception for others to create a whole narrative of you in their head. You’d rather be ignorant to it all, but have to understand it happens. No matter who you are. It’s so easy on media for people to become personal about you without even knowing you. What you put out there will haunt you or make you, and I have some ghost stories for sure. But one thing is for sure, you’ll never find me selling my soul. It’s very easy to let slip away. I have lost a lot of paying jobs and connections because I refused to let anyone take me to a level I don’t want. I just hope much more people can have that luxury too though I know that’s wishful thinking. I know it’s not the case and I still am crossing roads with difficult figures, but at least it’s my career to always control. I don’t want the fame or the money. My goal will always be happiness. I just hope that can be said for so many others because I see a lot of sad souls here. They all aren’t pretty pictures.
