How discovered:
I was scouted at a mall model search.

What was your first modeling job?
It was in a print advertisement for Oprah and Martha Stewart Magazine when I was around 6. Lol. Surprisingly I wasn’t nervous, in fact, it was a lot of fun. Me and a few other kids were jumping down a hill in a potato sack.

Favorite designer/brand/product:
Louis Vuitton, Off-White, Versace, and Marc Jacobs.

What’s your beauty routine?
I drink a ton of water and try not to stress. Not stressing helps my hair grow, keeps my skin clear, and helps with my overall wellness. For my hair, my go-to’s are a combination Miss Jessie Products, Shea Moisture’s Curl Enhancing Smoothie combined with a Denman Brush. As far as my skin routine, I use tea tree oil on problem areas, Pond’s moisturizer, and a weekly mud face mask.

Favorite modeling experience so far?
Flying to beautiful Venice, Italy and working with the legendary Oliviero Toscani.

What would you be doing if you weren’t modeling? Or what do you want to do after modeling?
I would probably be a track & field star athlete or anesthesiologist. One day I’d like to start a business… maybe start a chain of hotels.

Which brand would you really love to model for?
Louis Vuitton, hands down!! I’m in love with the designs and the vibe the brand gives off. And of course, my childhood dream of being a Victoria’s Secret model. Hahaha.


Some of your favorite things:
I can’t live without my white Air Force 1 sneakers. Like, they legit go with any outfit. I also can’t live without my mascara, lip gloss and cell phone.

What are you listening to at the moment?
Chill Tianna likes listens to alternative, reggae, and R&B. Hype Tianna listens to hardcore rap music.

Favorite movie(s) or TV show(s):
Favorite movies: I am Legend, Max, Saw Series. Favorite TV show: The 100, Jane the Virgin, Pretty Little Liars

How was your life different 12 months ago?
I was trying to juggle modeling, school, and track. Also, finding a hair and skin routine that works for me, and cutting out any negative people and energy. Basically setting myself up for the next 12 months :)

What always makes you laugh?
Animals and jokes about myself.

Currently you’re obsessed with/about:
I’m OBSESSED with drawing and being outside.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
I live by three quotes:
“No rain, no flowers.”
“If God wanted it to happen it would happen, if he didn’t, he has a much better plan for you.”
And, my favorite one (from my dentist): “If you make a Plan B you’re already setting yourself up for failure. Hustle to achieve your Plan A goal.”
