Being Featured in Top Pop magazine is amazing because for 1. The magazine is in the UK ( United Kingdom) and I’ve never been in a magazine before so being featured in a magazine is off my buckets list . I never thought I would be Global this fast I just started my career Lol but, I’m very grateful for this opportunity #yayyyyy
I had such a great time with YBLimited Mobile Glam Squad and Model Management last month during their Brand Ambassador Shoot, I just had to get the YBLimited experience myself since I needed to update my model portfolio.
That’s right people of the world, you have to have professionals take your pics when you are a professional model. Agencies and designers don’t like selfies or bathroom shots when deciding who they wanted to work with.
YBLimited Glam Squad members Ms. CoCo and Phillip Washington (CEO) greeted me warmly at the door at Blush Couture Boutique in Atlanta, GA. (Check out this boutique, I LOVE Ms. Andrea’s clothes and accessories!)
Mr. Phillip and I first had our strategy meeting, and he explained that his goal today was to show me off as a professional model, but also as a teenager (because Im 16…lol).
So we began with makeup. He only used a little to make sure my natural features showed, but enough to make sure the camera was nice to me…lol
Then Ms. CoCo helped me take down my hair and styled it (no weave, no perms).
And then we began with the first outfit
Then the second
And the third
And voila! Check out some of my finished pictures from Mr. Phillip!
If you need to start or update your portfolio, or if you need a glam squad to go to (or to come to you), contact YBLimited, and tell them Nia Gabrielle from Be Positive Media sent you!
And if you need a teen model for print work, your next fashion/hair show, or to be a brand ambassador, contact my Momager-Brandi Dawson at info@bepositivemedia.com
Thank you YBLimited, today was LIT!!!

Who’s excited to be honored for the second year in a row at the Who’s Who in Kids and Teens Honor Awards? THIS GIRL, Nia Gabrielle!
Every year Mr. Carlos Coleman, CEO of CFox Productions honors children who make good grades and do good things in the community.
Several of my friends from last year have done even more extraordinary things than they did last year, and I made new friends as well. You may even see a few you know from the internet and TV!
There were singers, rappers and comedians performing for us
and CBS 46 of Atlanta also came out to do a story and recognize us!
And as usual, the moms and dads were there too…lol
After the performances, we all hung out and rode rides at Six Flags.
We even ran into a practice for a flash mob video…lol
It feels good to know someone is proud of us, and we hope to continue to make you proud Mr. Coleman!

So THIS is what they meant by #brownGirlMagic….WOW!!!
13 year Mikaela Smith created Brown Girl Magic with the support of her mom Kia Morgan-Smith, and they held their first Brown Girl Magic Empowerment Conference-Mother/Daughter Dinner in Douglasville, GA!
It was soooo awesome! The theme was “Activating Your Inner Magic”, and it was way more exciting than I could have imagined. Ms. Kia said that activating your inner magic means, “all about teaching girls of color how to find and appreciate the beauty in themselves while using their power and voices to help change the world. We will hold sessions that will feed into the hearts and minds of so many young girls of color: whether Black, mixed raced, Latino, Native American, Middle Eastern or Asian”
They had great food, children vendors (yes, we are entrepreneurs too), and the speakers had great messages just for us. (You guys know speakers can get boring, but they were great!)
Mom and I had a great time connecting with the people
