The worst was when my skirt fell down to my ankles, but I had on thick tights underneath.

Well, in brief, I was discovered by a lady called Beth Boldt. She had also been a model. She used to take pictures of the girls she found, and she took a picture of me one day in my school uniform, and it all kind of started from there.

I think it's always good to learn a craft from scratch the real way, so that you've learned it from the basis, the raw bones, and then you have that to fall back on. I personally wouldn't want it any other way.

I don't work out as much as I should, but I do believe that it's a healthy mind as well as a healthy body that keeps me fit, sound and calm.

I look at modeling as something I'm doing for black people in general.

I don't get depressed. When I feel an attack, I withdraw. I disappear, I replenish, and then I come back.

I was born in London and raised in Rome until I was 4. Then we went back to London, where I went to school.
