Three years ago, I wanted to challenge myself and do something I was terrified of, and that was a live event. That was when both Slay Model Search started along with my producing partnership with @lihp310 and @rdalba I always look forward to our “pre-production” meetings, especially with our new partners @mistertreat and @abdullahrasheen . To @onealappeal and @patricksantaana , thank you for continuing to make all the models, gorgeous year after year. Thank you @ariscetocrat for being a star and inspiring so many of your peers, @katrinefenger for holding down the fort and making this season the most beautiful it’s been, and to your team @james4leo @miostudios @hamishkmcalpine @styled.by.manny @styledbyestelle Every year, we try to make it better and bigger because not only do we owe it to ourselves as producers, but also because the Trans community deserves space in the Fashion and Media world. Thank you to all our supporters and allies who have helped put together this stage and have put your money where your mouth is. This is the tangible alignment we need during these days that the very existence of this community is threatened. More importantly, I am grateful to all the Trans models who have gone through the doors at @slaymodelsla , especially all you beautiful souls of season 3, you all continue to teach me how to be a good human (on most days). Love you all! Photos by the amazing @josh_fogel . #love #pride #lovewhatyoudo #igers #modelagent #ally #transisbeautiful #slay #slaymodelmanagement #lgbt #ally #love #blackandwhite #losangeles
