She possess a BS in Accounting as well as a MBA with a focus in Finance. She has always been a woman who felt family was important and critical in her life as well in the continued stability of our society and communities. Early on there was a light that shined forth through her. Academically she soared amongst the best and exceeded the goals to gain numerous awards and recognition throughout her tenure in Elementary, Junior High, High School and College. She graduated with honors from them all. She went ahead to embark upon various career opportunities to build her expertise and get her to the point she is today. She currently owns and operates her own Accounting & Consulting business, AB Enterprises. She has plans to expand beyond measure and lay the foundation for many to follow. Throughout all of her many accomplishments she has always had a flare for style and fashion. She always stood out from the rest with her distinct style and originality. She knew there was so much more to her than what she attained in the books. She had high self-esteem which was instilled in her from her family, particularly a loving and caring father and an extraordinary grandmother. Between the both of them they taught her to always be herself and to always know that she was beautiful and that the world was her to conquer. They always taught her, along with her other cousins and relatives, that they expected nothing but the best from them. It would be this very frame of mind that would give her that boost she needed to always try anything once. There was never anything that she saw as an undoable challenge. She attempted anything. The one fact remains that at least she tried it while others only thought about it. She would take that mind set to overcome the barriers often imposed on many in today’s society when it comes to body size and weights. Being a young lady who was considered by many as curvy, plus size and so forth she did not allow this stop her to achieve her dreams of becoming a model that represented what real women looked like. Not saying that all women were her size but an overly impressive number could relate. She was what many would label as a “real model.” She represented the ability to look good, have “SWAG” and not be a size 4 or less but a 10 and above and still holds her own. She has modeled in various shows from Atlanta to New York and hosted numerous events. In March of 2016 she was blessed to start her own segment entitled “DangerousCurves” on PhazeIIRadio.com. She is a well-organized, business-savvy woman who is an artist on the ramp, walking with skill and precision. Commonly thought of as a simple job of just getting made up and posing for the camera, the career of modeling has many facets to it that are often overlooked by the general public. There is so much more that she aims to accomplish which includes and is not limited to: Owning a community outreach center, Being a national motivational speaker and Being an international Plus Size Model.
