Imposter syndrome is real, and I'm amongst the many women who struggle with it. As a high achiever who hasn't accomplished nearly all my goals yet, it's a challenge for me to stop and bask in the moments of triumph and victory.

So today I'm choosing to celebrate a win. Thank you, and on this wonderful article on and me. This has been a 10-year journey with three pivots and continuous growth at every phase, and we're just getting started.

I started with no knowledge on how to run a business, let alone a modeling agency. I had been in the fashion industry for quite some time before, but as a model. STRUT was born because of what I experienced as a model. I saw a void and went for it. Along the way, I learned and put myself in spaces and places that would help with the advancement. Overall, it's been a lot of grit, grind, and God's favor!

You don't have to know everything or have it all figured out. Belief in self and your dreams are key. Your circle is also crucial. Once you're certain of your purpose and you do the work, things will fall into place. It's definitely not going to happen overnight, but stay the course!

Xoxo,
Shaw 💋❤️

COMMERCIAL vs. FASHION POSING

There's a difference between commercial and fashion posing.

Every aspiring model should know the difference.

Some models are cross marketable and need to know how to do both.

However, each model should know which category they fit in and master that style of posing.

One of the biggest mistakes new/aspiring models make is by building a portfolio with the wrong type of posing, styling and photos.

To learn what type of model you are and how to master commercial or fashion posing, register for one of my boot camps.

Virtual and in person options available!!
DM For Details.

IT'S A CRAFT!!

As a Model Development Coach I'm always working on perfecting my CRAFT.

It's how I stay current and fresh with the techniques and tips that I share with the models.

Every aspiring model that wants to get representation needs to STUDY THE CRAFT.

The mirror should be your best friend. Not in a conceited way. But solely for the purpose of getting better at posing and understanding angles.

To learn all the skills you need to progress in your modeling career, register for one of my model bootcamps.

Next Boot Camp Date: April 24th-25th

WHAT'S MY WHY?

Once upon a time there was a young girl from the Island of Trinidad & Tobago.

She moved to the US at age 14 and kept getting asked ARE YOU A MODEL? Or DO YOU PLAY BASKETBALL?

Being a girly girl, the latter was not an option. So the young girl started doing research on how to become a model?

After years of trying to figure it out on her own, finally at 22 the now woman signed her first modeling contract in NYC.

From 14-22 is 7 years!! All that time I was going about it the wrong way.

So that's my WHY!!! I coach aspiring models and help guide their careers because I wish I had someone in my corner to save me all the time I waisted trying to navigate this industry.

Working with me means that you are getting access to the knowledge and skill set that I have developed over the last 19 years.

All the lessons learned. The trials and error. I impart my wisdom on the next generation so they won't have to take as long to reach their goal as I did!

To work with me join one of my boot camps. Next Boot Camp Day is April 24th.

COMMERCIAL POSING

There is a difference in commercial posing vs. editorial posing.

At the boot camps and workshops that I present, I give the models live demonstrations of both.

As you can see this group from the boot camp weekend were all eyes before it was there turn to give it a try.

To learn fluid posing for both commercial and editorial register for one of my boot camps.

Next Boot Camp Date is April 24th. DM for details.

My services are also offered to agencies. I provide runway and photo movement coaching as well as modeling industry insight. To have me come work with your models, DM for details.
