Sixteen years ago, I set out to create my own lane in an industry that often overlooked Black models. I studied both the business and the craft — from runway to management — and turned that vision into reality.
What began as a small model team has grown into LVMA, an established agency built to empower models of color through real resources, mentorship, and opportunity. More than an agency, LVMA is a safe space where models of color can learn, grow and thrive with the representation and respect they deserve.
