cm \/ 6&#8217;0&#8243;, American, born February 25th.<\/p>\n<h4>Why:<\/h4>\n<p>Chicago-based Chufue&#8217;s charm won&#8217;t be limited to just the midwest. Busy developing his book, Chufue&#8217;s versatility will certainly appeal to many markets. <\/p>\n<h4>We Asked:<\/h4>\n<p><em>How and when did you become a model?<\/em><br \/>\n&#8220;By chance. I was a photography assistant for this start-up magazine photoshoot in Chicago and while I was holding up one of the lights, the stylist came over to me and asked if I could wear this gray jumpsuit that she had. I feel like having acting experience definitely eased the nerves, but I was still freaking out. After the shoot was over, the magazine editor really liked the set I did and published me in their first issue. It was the first time I had ever felt good about my physical appearance. I hold this memory very close to my heart.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>What is an issue or cause you are passionate about?<\/em><br \/>\n&#8220;Social activism and representation. I feel the need to be apart of the movement that breaks the glass ceiling capped on people of color, especially Asian men. Growing up without a positive role model in the media that I could inherently relate to, I feel, has definitely skewed and shaped how I perceived my self-worth. At the end of the day, I&#8217;m not saying that I want to be the sole voice of the Asian community represented in the mainstream media, but definitely a positive reinforcement when viewing it collectively. In a way, I want to be the representation I never had growing up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>What are your interest\/favorite things?<\/em><br \/>\n&#8220;I feel like I have many interests that range from just creating, if that makes any sense. Whether it&#8217;s making digital art, graphic design, taking photos, writing music, or writing spoken word poetry. I know that I&#8217;m probably stretching myself thin with all of the things that I&#8217;m pouring my creative energy into, but I wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way. I also love meeting new people and learning about their stories. I feel like that&#8217;s probably one of the reasons as to why I love modeling, being on set allows me to meet other creative individuals. It&#8217;s such a cool experience and I can&#8217;t get enough of it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>Where:<\/h4>\n<p><a href='\/\/models.com\/agency\/Ford-Models-Chicago'>Ford Models Chicago (Chicago &#8211; mother agency)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago-based Chufue&#8217;s charm won&#8217;t be limited to just the midwest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":57349,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,3],"tags":[4335,677,1303,30],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57347"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57347"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57347\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":57371,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57347\/revisions\/57371"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57349"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57347"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57347"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/models.com\/newfaces\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57347"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
