HC FAMU:Â How was your transition from a preppy university cheerleader to a fierce imt model, was the transition easy or were the experiences similar ?
VC:Â For cheerleading you always have to smile which I had no problem with because I’m smiling and laughing 99.9 percent of time and I’m very spirited, but for IMT you have to be sassy! I love kinda channeling someone else usually it’s Hilary Banks from Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Lol. However it takes a lot of discipline for both.
