Model Q&A



Name: Zoe

Where are you from:  North Carolina

Where do you live currently: South Florida

Are you signed to a modeling agency? No; I am currently seeking new representation

How long have you been modeling? Seriously - about 3 years

Why did you become a model?  I enjoy being in front of the lens...telling a story through pictures. 

What was your biggest paying job while modeling?  (laughs)  Around $500 worth of clothing from a local boutique for doing a runway show.

Who inspires you?  Models - Tyra Banks, Cyndi Crawford, and Heidi Klum, for making the transition from fashion to lifestyle models - to other creative ventures.  They did not letting getting older stop them; rather, they expanded their brand to other commercial outlets.

Can Your College Degree Make or Break You?

by. J. Keri Ward

What difference does it make ?


                                                                        


Have you ever wondered how life would be if you had done it ? Or, hadn’t done it ? One of life’s age old questions...does my college education, or the lack thereof determine my lifestyle ? Hopefully, we can provide answers and clear up some myths of society within this story.

Socioeconomic studies have been conducted for decades now by groups such as the American Educational Research Association, which after over hundreds of studies has concluded that the correlations aren’t as many have assumed. For us, this means all we need is a dream and good ole’ determination to live the lives we’ve dreamed about. Of course, this isn’t a green light for college students everywhere to drop out of school…it does however mean that if college isn’t for you, there’s still hope ! (I personally, value the well educated professionals of our society i.e: medical professionals, lawyers, educators, etc. so, DON’T QUIT !)

Is Television Your Child's New At-home Parent?


On average, every day tens of thousands of parents leave children home alone in an empty house to run errands, work, or attend social functions. According to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, an estimated 40 percent-plus children are left at home at some point in their lives.


A 1944 NBC documentary during the Second World War, the term “Latchkey Kid” originated, referring to the house or apartment key around a child’s neck. When the war began, thousands of men enlisted into the army, as women found jobs to support their families, which initiated new found feminism in the wake industrialism. Since then, the number of kids left alone have nearly tripled. In fact, the State Department of Education estimated that some 600,000 to 800,000 children in California alone have been harmonized into the latchkey kid label.
