What inspired you into becoming a MODEL? For me it was always about tapping into any medium of expression possible. I've always been fascinated with the idea of taking on different roles and exuding a versatility of character. I love being able to get into a mood or zone, taking the photos, and then seeing the end product.

How did you learn about networking in the Entertainment Industry? Trial and error, experimentation, and learning from some of the best in the business. Networking, marketing, promotion, and self-branding have become a huge part of my lifestyle, and I'm blessed to have had the help I've had up to this point. But I've always had to reach out and go get what I wanted...I've learned that the can do attitude opens many doors.

Who do you look up to? There's a a great deal if inspirational people out there. The few that stand out in my mind are God, my mom, my sister, and Obama. They've all made a huge impact on my life whether directly or indirectly. As far as celebrities...Aaliyah was my girl.

What's your favorite sports team? WARRRRRRIORRRS! Come out and play!

What is the last movie you saw, and what do you think of the movie? In theaters, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist I think. It was cute...but I'm more of an action/horror junkie...even though I don't get scared, I like to try haha. Outside of the theaters, The Happening. I fell asleep within the first 20 minutes of the movie. Enough said.

What are some of your favorite brands? Hellagant, Chanel, Miss Sixty, Miu Miu, and H&M. Oh...and you gotta love Target dude. Lol.

If OBAMA gave you one million dollars right now, what would you do with it? Donate 100,000 to the Leukemia @ Lymphoma Society in memory of my beloved late friend, Melissa. Invest 300,000 into my career in music, dance, and fashion. 200,000 to my mom and sister. And with the rest...travel, new house, new car.

If you could have any car, what would it be? One that flies too, lol.

Who have you worked with and how have they affected your work? Hellagant Clothing...absolutely inspirational, I couldn't ask for a better team. Mellange Studios...such a creative team and the positive energy is undeniable. Arturo Torres...one of the most talented new photographers out there, he never fails to inspire me. Mycol Chauncey...the man who got me into the whole modeling gig, he's my OG. Beenie Mike...I feel like he acts like my long lost brother. Jayne Santayana...we make music and magic together. Seemless Clothing...they're a very focused group. Apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas for the BEBOT video...that guy is nothing short of extraordinary. Supreme Soul...those guys are my heart! Alex Retodo...one of the only other people in the world who has just as much going on!

What do you know about Streetball OR BETTER YET STREETBALL. COM? Very cool site and a good way to keep up-to-date with multiple areas of interest such as music, sports, etc. Love it!

Favorite basketball team: I said it before and I'll say it again. WARRRRIOORRRS! We believe!

Favorite basketball player: I'm all for Monta Ellis right now. I really believe in that guy.

Favorite entertainer: Kanye and Weezy are phenomenal performers...but like I said...Aaliyah was my girl.

Wackiest entertainer: Probably Lil' Kim. She dances weird. Lol. Favorite music artist: Do I seriously have to only pick one?? This is going to frustrate me, seriously. I'm all about hip hop, r&b, soul, jazz, house, etc...so there's a bunch. But to save myself time and effort and prevent frustration, I'll take the easy way out and say it again. Aaliyah. Are you guys tired of me saying that yet? Lol.

Favorite video game: There's a bunch for this one too. It's so hard. Old school...Mortal Kombat. New school...I loved Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of Patriots.

Favorite movie: Man all these favorite questions stress me out because I can never pick just one. Lol. I don't want to think about it too much or else I'll never answer. So I'll just go ahead and say Gladiator. I think we can all agree that was an epic.

Favorite thing to do when you're not working: Dance. Hand down.

Favorite get a way spot: I couldn't really say, I still have so much of the world to see.

Favorite food and drink: This one's easy. Steak all the way...and water, lol.
