Shaquana Lewis...
Talent is priority and respect…
Many times people tell me that their daughters, sons or friends want to become a model or wish to be in the talent industry and often this statement follows with the question, “Where should they go?”
As we know the big cities are the places to be for those pursuing these kind of careers. However, no many can take or have the luxury to be there and try. Some are lucky and it will take just a snap for them to become stars, others may struggle for a while and will make it at the end, or simply will quit after realizing there is other ways for them to go be happy and successful…
To do something well you have to love what you do… Most important, when you love what you do there is no fear to share your talent or gift. I have work with many talented ladies and gentlemen in the fashion industry, and this one includes the models and their agents of course… They are a big part of what we are… Locally I had and have the great opportunity to work with many of these fabulous ladies…Farrah Graham, Lauren Cheely, Katherine Gordon, Meghan Redd, Renee Reese Collins, Hannah Stepanek, Eggy Andrian others…
One of the ladies I work with locally had showed to me that her love for this field is genuine, and she’s here to authentically share her gift and passion. When you want to do something well the best part is to begin with the right mentors, no matter where you live. That’s the most important part to the rest of your journey… The rest will come alone is the talent is there… So if you are to ask me for my suggestion about where to go I will point at the direction of Shaquana Lewis…
Shaquana Lewis is the owner and director of Shaquana International Modeling Agency LLC. Shaquana has model for me in the past, she had shown how passionate she is about not just her modeling agency but the attention and team work she has created between her and all the ones that share her work. Shaquana’s involvement in the community has also being very noticeable… I noticed that to her is not just about a money making industry, it’s about doing it right, well and inject that same passion to the ones among her…. To add more to it, Shaquana count with one of the most talented photographers in town, Mr. JD Mosley from Mosley Media… What else you can ask for? You will see more of Shaquana and her beautiful models in my future presentations… Bravo Shaquana! I take my hat off for you Diva, indeed!

Passion...
I’m passionate about what I do, indeed…
Every stitch is carefully calculated, every cut on a piece of fine textile is well studied and analyzed, every touch the pressing iron gives to my pieces melts over every curve and or line of the design… When building up a design my body moves as I make its curves through the stitches of the sewing machine…
Yes, I do baby these pieces as they begin taking form, just pure passion…. That’s why one must be very cautious when coming near me and my passion….
