Today we’d like to introduce you to Jsaria Coleman.
Hi Jsaria, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My story began at my college, Tuskegee University. My first aspect of art was through the body when I was a dancer at the age of 10. Never did I think I would become a model but it doesn’t surprise me that I found an interest in it. The modeling troupe at my university is always led by example, Rave Revue MOdeling troupe is a troupe of trendsetters and up until my senior year, I never thought about actually being a part of the organization. The intake process for me was very last minute because I felt that it would just be a waste of time. The moment I submitted my application I knew it was go time, it was no turning back. Every hour that we practiced and the pain that we felt belt my line closer together. I crossed Rave Revue Modeling Troupe with the name S&M, Sadism, and Masochism. The pain I felt through my poses and holding my rave at attention stance all while intaking pleasure and remaning sexy was how I got my name. Ever since I knew that modeling was another way of expressing a million words about myself.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
The struggles of trying to model while in college and remaining focused during my senior year made it feel impossible to graduate. The pain I felt from wearing heels and staying in one position for hours was like no other, but in some form of fashion it made me stronger and more dedicated, it built character. Now I love wearing heels, being the tallest person in the room, showing that the way I walk defines who I am.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I graduated from Tuskegee University with a B.S. in Agribusiness and right now I am currently interning as a Special Uses Coordinator with the National Forest Service. In my spare time, I work on my music, which is another way I express myself through a healthy outlet.
Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
Working for the government can sometimes bring racial challenges. Not to use it as an excuse but a fact, being that I am an African-American female woman I am a double standard, so sometimes there are more expectations, and other times there are emotions that run through me. When I compare my professional life to modeling I think about those times where I was stuck in a pose and I couldn’t move and had to push through. In certain circumstances I know I just have to push through.
