Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittanie Beattie.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Brittanie. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I am a model. I started when I was around 14, to help boost my self-confidence. I was the girl who was made fun of because of her size. I was tall and slender compared to my peers. I went through a lot of hardships as a child which helped me succeed in this career. I was abused as a child. I took all my pain, hurt and put it into my art. I never thought I would be a professional model at the age of 22. Modeling helped me find myself and know my worth.
Has it been a smooth road?
This career is not easy. You are consistently being criticized for your looks and body size. Financially it’s a lot. I’m always investing money into my modeling. I’ve had a lot of ‘doubt ‘moments where I did not know if I was going to make it. When I first started, I had to find people who we’re willing to work with me, even though I did not have any work to show.
Please tell us about your work.
I’m a model. My big hair is definitely what sets me apart from others. My proudest moment is when I was accepted into my first magazine. Also, when I signed to my first agency in New York.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
I like fashion, and how everybody is involved in some ‘art ‘whether it’s rappers, producers or models. I dislike TRAFFIC! But, I’m pretty sure everybody does.
