NEW MODELING AGENCY
Ok guys, i know I have not kept up with this as well as I am supposed to so let me give you an update.
1. I am no longer with my former modeling agency. let me tell you exactly what happened.In my modeling contract, it said that i was supposed to contact her weekly. Ok.However, lots of times when id call her she would say, 'I'm busy im busy" let me call you back.." and may or may not call me back.
Ok , well then i got into an accident and could not callfor several weeks.Instead of her asking me why i had NOT called her, instead, she has her worker/intern send me an email saying " your contract has been terminated"... i email this "mystery person and as k for a reason why and the person emails me chunks of the contract, so I am ASSUMING it has to do with the phone call thing.
People, this is NOT how you run a business.This is NOT how you gain a loyal following..what this is is pure shadiness.That is it.You do NOT want to be with a modeling agency that thinks NOTHING of you.If she truly was caring, she would have called me HERSELF.To this day I have never heard from her, and that, my friends is what I call shadiness. And no I have not called her, why should I? I would never treat anyone like that, but if that is how she wants to choose me, that's cool.But I am sharing this with you so that you all can know that the modeling agents are not all the same.
Some are crazy,obnoxious, and can be uncaring-- like mine. no matter how many jobs you may be booking, no one wants to be lead by an agent you can NOt freely speak to, one who yells and screams and makes her models cry ( not me, but ive seen other models crying); one who curses out some of her models, and one who has models who do not feel free.If you get an agent like that, be careful.
Anyways, so i was dropped by this agent in the first week of May 2012.
Two weeks later, i got another contract in New York..and I like her. A lot. Thats right--2 weeks later..So never fear my people.
you can not put all your hope in modeling.You need to go to school and get an education=-- let modeling be a hobby, a side thing.if you make it a main thing, you'll be disappointed.
So now i have a new agent and im quite happy with her.I went to the ESSENCE casting a few weeks ago, and Macy's is looking for new models in their ads- so lets wait and see what happens.
Now you are up to date on me, one of the only African Plus Size Models in America:).
