Three decades of seeing before anyone else does. "I see something in you."
And then, weeks, months, and more often than not YEARS of encouraging, teaching, developing, nurturing.
Mindset, lifestyle, skill set...
We always tell them to be selective in who they listen to because along the way there will be more that don't understand,
Then those that do.
When things do take a turn and they find success, trust me, suddenly everyone will say they believed in you along the way...
Another important note:
A few of the agents that were here for Tribute commented they really appreciated our honesty and candor about the modeling industry as a whole....so here's a BIG one.
There are a few remaining agencies out there that function in an outdated and unethical practice of saying to models as they are gaining traction, "You don't need your mother agency anymore. Leave them."
The ones who were there when nobody else was. The ones who made it happen and brought you into a world you didn't even really knew existed. Life changing stuff...
To the models out there who listen to such nonsense... it speaks to your character or lack there of.
To the agencies who still think that's a power move, you're biting the hand that feeds you. The culture of such agencies is toxic. We just wait to watch it unravel because it will.
To the great agencies and managers out there who know and value what it really takes to get someone in a position to pursue a global fashion career and the teamwork it takes to make it happen, THANK YOU.
Let's keep building stars together ❤️
And to everyone out there who feels alone in their pursuit to dream BIG dreams - MOTHERLAND IS COMING ❤️
2025 we are building for everyone who has the audacity to believe there is something more for them. A dream they can't let die. Never stop.
Keep on keeping on ❤️
