How was your first experience as a model?
Well, my 1st experience as a Model was my 1st casting call where I had to walk to get selected for ABC. I wasn’t really nervous because I didn’t know any better lol. The stage director told me to just walk out when I hear the music, so I did, and I felt about 5 hands grab my shirt and pull me back for leaving to early haha. Then they sent me back out, I did my walk, and the rest is history.
