Versatility is one of the most important skills you can have to make it in this industry. A willingness to do adapt whenever you need to stay ahead of the game, and other models. A model or talent that can evolve when the right moment calls for it is highly sought after, and what we look for when scouting. But sometimes you need a team that can identify what needs work, or even how to re-brand yourself when the industry calls for it.



My job is to see what models and talent need to do to get to the next level. When I met Kyra Green, she was 11 and already a tremendous talent. I knew she had it all, and at such a young age! But at age 13, we started looking to re-create her image and her brand for a larger audience, and that's when we began developing her for high-fashion. We had to show a completely different side of her, to an industry that was already familiar with her.


Introducing her as a serious force in the modeling world required the right timing and a lot of trust on her part. If it wasn't for Kyra's confidence in Nijah and her level of talent, I wouldn't have been able to introduce her to one of the largest modeling agencies in the world, IMG. They are the perfect fit for Kyra, as they're geared toward creating a long-lasting career as she approaches adulthood. As a result of her hard work, Kyra can be seen in the April issue of Marie Claire, where she is stunning in a full-page editorial.



She will be a phenom in the industry, and her versatility is a big part of the reason why.
