So how has your year been?

A journey, it's been great. Figuring out what the next step is for #modeling and seeing if I’m still passionate about it. And knowing that I’m worthy of receiving more. #Patience has been a theme this year.

A.S.M: I feel like patience is an on going theme in the #modelingindustry.

AH: Yes it is. It really is. You ever had the experience where you go to a #casting then your agent calls and says ”hey you’re on option”. And you're like yes! I'm on option this is awesome and then you don't get it? So I had that several times for really big clients. Then you start getting insecure, like what did I do? I was on option they wanted me, what changed that? You really get into your head about stuff like that.

Sometimes there's different seasons and you just have to work on yourself when things aren't happening

What motivates you to keep going?

I remind myself how it was when I first started. How I could’ve quit then. When I wasn't getting any #castings, when I wasn't with an #agency. I could've quit then. Sometimes there’s different seasons and you just have to work on yourself when things aren't happening. Not having all your eggs in one basket is key as well. Work on other skills you have and put energy into that so you can feel fulfilled if one thing isn't working out.

Modeling is still fun but I want to talk!

What's your goal in the industry?

I would love to be in a #campaign and be the face for that campaign whether its for #beauty....hopefully a #natural product. But now I've kind of evolved into wanting to get into #acting more. I was interested in acting as a child so that is more fulfilling to me. Modeling is still fun but I want to talk! Haha. I want to speak and convey different emotions. Be different characters and really kick ass at that. Especially now it's a great time to do that. Go big or go home. I'm a #creative, I would like to get into #writing and #directing.

If you could model anywhere in the world where would it be?

The cold desert in #Africa. I would love to do a tribal shoot in a desert.

I think people are so busy and we get overworked.

What do you represent?

I would like to represent hope. I think people are so busy and we get overworked. I think people need to chill. So I would say hope, comfort and happiness. I think we need to have a break from social media and just be still.
