Tell us about yourself

Hi! My name is Rihana, I am 20 years old from Midland, Michigan. I'm a cat mom of 2, I love to listen to and play music, read, and am passionate about all things health and wellness. I am currently completing a program to become a Certified Health Coach, and I have also been a Licensed Esthetician for nearly 2 years! 

Tell us about your modeling experience. 

I have done some freelance work with local photographers in the past, and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with this amazing agency! 

What is your biggest dream?

At the end of the day I think my biggest goal is to have a positive impact on those I come in contact with. Traveling around the world and experiencing different cultures would be pretty cool too. 

What does it mean to be your own kind of beautiful?

Being yourself = being your own kind of beautiful. There is no mold to fit into when discussing beauty. Every authentic self has SO much to admire. 

How would you describe your fashion style?

Overall very casual. I like to be comfortable and you can never go wrong dressing in the basics. 

Who or what inspires you?

I take little bits of inspiration from every person I meet. I talk to such a wide variety of people every day at work, and hearing different stories about their life and all they have accomplished is truly beautiful. Also my mom who is my best friend and biggest supporter; her unconditional love never fails to inspire me. 

What is your advice to someone who is just getting started with modeling?

Confidence really does make the biggest difference! If you don't believe in yourself first, no one else will believe in you. 

Describe some obstacles you have overcome in your life and how that has changed or shaped you.

I was bullied A LOT in middle / high school, and it made it so hard for me to love and embrace myself. I had to completely rewire my brain to learn that nothing other people said about me was true. In the end it gave me great insight about the power of words and how important it is to be your own best friend. 

What makes you beautiful/handsome?

Not to be cheesy, but my personality. I really love how I treat others and myself. 

What would you say to another girl/guy your age who is struggling with their confidence?

There are multiple forms of beautiful, and you are one of them. One person's beauty does not subtract someone else's. The most beautiful people I know are also the kindest people I know, those two so greatly go hand in hand.
