In this episode of Role Models, I sit down with the inspiring and charismatic Shadae (@shadaenotadu)—a professional model who went from working at an Amazon warehouse to gracing the pages of major editorials. Shadae spills the tea on what it really takes to break into the modeling industry, the truth about unpaid editorials, and why personality can sometimes outshine "pretty privilege."
We also chat about navigating the pressures of social media, how Shadae manifested her big break, and her best (and worst!) job experiences in the industry. Plus, she shares some essential tips for aspiring models on finding your niche, working with agencies, and staying confident despite the challenges.
Whether you're a budding model or just curious about the behind-the-scenes of the fashion world, this episode is packed with insight, laughs, and motivation.
