Too Many Sacrifices than what i get back
The road to hitting the mark hasn’t been easy at all for me as a female model. The drive and passion called for more sacrifices in the beginning. i loved doing the work and been doing it for years now. Most of these new artist aren’t financial stable to even pay me the right amount as a model but the quality of their works and sometimes the passion that drives me calls for that sacrifice. However, through these sacrifices i met pretty good ones who paid good money which ensured value for the projects done. in all you win some and loose some.
In the area of Money making, she is of the view that every reasonable woman who has dignity must work herself out to making her own money. In this line of work, many men will come your way as the job creates the environment to meeting new faces all the time, however, you rather need to be judgmental in your decision making. I have personally been business minded from day one. running my personal Ushering company and will use this opportunity to request that when ever you have any activity which requires the services of ushers, do reach out to me because this is how i survive. the other way of survival i cant comprehend so i rather chose this working lifestyle
