Modelling, fashion and film have all encouraged me to learn more about issues and to feel empowered enough to do something about them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Modeling gave me so many experiences, like traveling and being exposed to global cultures, but the most valuable lesson has been working with designers who truly are visionaries in their field.
I always recognized that modeling would allow me to see and do a lot, so I looked for opportunities to learn and grow.
Modeling is a great beginning, but it's also a kind of trap if you have any ambition or a mind that needs to be stimulated.
I went to the U.S. to start my modeling career at a very young age. So, venturing into films and handling the pressure isn't a big task.
All of my experiences modeling, acting, doing theater, it's all in the work now. And the work freed me to transform myself.
I found going to school when I was modeling very grounding. It's really kept my perspective on bigger things in my life.
I suppose it's the feminist in me, but I didn't always associate modelling with an intelligent career. I used to put myself down for doing it.
Modeling is exciting, but I certainly felt frustrated that I couldn't speak out or express myself. I always wanted to express my desires in some other medium.
I never really thought about modelling. It wasn't something I ever wanted to do. I used to always be so angry about modelling.
I started modelling while still studying. I liked doing television commercials and being in front of the camera. Lots of ad directors told me to try for films.
