Being a model wasn't part of my plans. I went to high school for acting for 4 years and quickly after graduating high school I went on to college to become a lawyer ..and man I thought law was my life. In this process I was young and dating and in the stage of a toxic love relationship that not only left me drain but my soul was dead. I wasn't paying attention in my classes and I was crying everyday on my way to class over a girl that was manipulating me the whole time . I remember that night we broke up and in the instant my world was dark and I needed something to occupy myself , my homeboy @thecamchamp called me over to his studio just to hang out and playing around I got in front of the camera and took a couple shots ( I was that smiling model) he'll be like " ashley what the hell are you doing ?" . I left that night and decided . Okay this will keep my mind off of this girl and indeed it did ..the more I did it the more my passion grew for modeling . This was November 28th 2013 when I started this journey all for the wrong reasons , turned into something I love to this date . I try to brand myself differently then the other models I see. I don't mind that my ladies show skin but I think you can gain attention other ways . Like I've always stated " when you see me don't think bras and thongs man ..think that chick that draped up with the kicks..think yo she's pretty dope " I look up to Vashtie and alealimay these two females are doing it right now . I guess what I'm trying to say is , is that you never know the reasons for things . When I left that relationship I didn't realize until after that it was holding me back . It's only been a year and so much has happened in my life. From being with Ronnie Feig at KithNyc , to being apart of Asap Fergs music video , to having the people that I have around me is such a blessing . I'm still growing and learning this field cause it's hard , it is expecially when you branding as a street wear model you have to gain audience from both genders in a way that's appeasing ..and that's what I've been trying to say all along . Life is never planned . I thought I'll be a lawyer ! and that's my story ..when a heartbreak turns into a dream you now can't put down until you reach your goal .
