I thought being a model would be the ticket to self confidence but, I was so wrong. I was in junior high, back then I was "tall" for my age and my mom knew someone from an agency, they looked at me and decided to allow me to join their photoshoot. Afterwards, they allowed me to join more shoots as well as their training, which was a couple of hours of learning how to walk, and pose. I used to work out a lot, so I was kind of thin. But I also ate during lunch so there's this small bump around my belly during rehearsals. Our manager would poke my belly during practice sessions because it was "too big", so I stopped eating lunch whenever there's a training schedule. It may sound like a "small thing" but that affected me to the point where I starved myself while adding more intensity to my workout routine. I actually did thousands crunches just to have the "flat stomach" they wanted. I remember during our one of our shows, we were encouraged to not eat at all. That day the only thing I ate was a single biscuit. I felt like I was floating while going through the whole ordeal of catwalks and multiple makeup/clothing changes. There was also that creepy makeup artist who would kiss me for some unknown reason, after knowing that my parents weren't with me. After that show, I've decided to leave modeling permanently. It took me years to unlearn all those bs they taught me lol.
Thank you ladies. This is such good timing my 16 year old daughter is wanting to become a model. This has given me so much to think about when looking for agencies.
I haven't watched the video but I know enough already to wonder what the cost benefit analysis of exposing my daughter to the modeling industry would look like ... wow, yeah kids are great that way huh. If only kids could still work in factories amirite. 😳
@@coppersense999 I hope you watch the video.The last bit of your statement feels a bit uncomfortable. Are you comparing my daughter who is about to leave school considering a job ias model to child labour. Also we live in New Zealand a small country so it is easier to check reputation and credibility. Whatever my daughter decides to do I will offer her all the support she needs. She is also Samoan so healthy representation is good!
LOVE this style of video/ conversation👍🏻👍🏻 But just ugh. I am sadly not at all surprised & not sorry AT ALL that my modeling career started & ended with Poly Flinders dresses when I was 3-4yrs old.
6:44 I stopped here and need to come back to this video. This is a ridiculously longstanding problem. I not only felt like I had lost my rights when I signed, but they told me as much. If they booked me for something I wanted to refuse to do, I was told I would be responsible for the costs. NTM I was a minor on their own in this adult world where I was told nudity was expected. There are definitely things that happened to me that never should have. Let's just say there are pictures of me out there that shouldn't exist. I left before resigning at...18. IK IK but I didn't then. I'm nearly 50.
I think U.S. labor laws apply to all industries. In CA they post employee rights in Spanish because even non-citizens, literally legal or illegal, are protected. Sadly, in our litigation-happy country, a strong route to change is paved in cash. Get your money ladies. But I love the messaging and the Alliance. Good work.
Wow, In 2020 I worked somewhere for two days and they kept blowing off paying me, So within like a month I went to the labor Union and I ended up getting significantly more than they owed me back. That was in San Diego county. Also, it's disgusting how much pedophilia is in the entertainment industry... so glad my mom didn't let me try out modeling when she was approached for it when I was a little girl.
Regina, you may think that, but are you 100% sure that if you died today you would go to heaven? Do you know Jesus Christ? I am convinced that most people who call themselves "Christian" know religion instead of Jesus Christ. Or they have created their own God in their head. That is why we must make sure that we know the God of the bible and know that we are truly saved. Lay religion, Christian culture, and even politics aside. Someone who truly loves you is reaching out to you not willing that you should perish (2 Peter3), but that you be saved from the price of your sins. With that said, how do you deal with your sin? Yes you. How many times have you lied, lusted, or stolen? I'm guilty, what about you? I hope you feel convicted. But if you're going to reject the free gift of salvation, you ought to think about where you are going after death. Is this your mindset? Luke 12:19 “And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.” Please please do not be this person that Jesus described here. I don't care how if you are in a ministry or even behind a pulpit. And their is no shame in getting saved. Matthew 7 21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. You see there will be professing Christians that were not actually saved. I want to help you. Matthew 18:3 "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven." Because of God's holiness we cannot be in his presence as we are in our sin. No matter how righteous one may appear everyone has sinned and one sin can lead to hell, but there is a way out. We don't deserve it but God made a way that we may become the righteousness of God (Romans 5). I want you to have 100% assurance of salvation. Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 14 6Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Romans 6 23For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1Corinthians 15: 1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Romans 10 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED. Here is the gospel straight and simple: 1. Truly acknowledge that you have sinned against a perfect God and you are worthy of hell that can only be saved by the blood of Jesus Christ 2. Believe that Jesus died for and covered all of your sins and rose again. 3. Say to God that Jesus Christ he is your saviour. Please let me know. I am praying for you, today is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

You see there will be professing Christians that were not actually saved.
I want to help you.

1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1Corinthians 15:
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Romans 10
9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED.
Here is the gospel straight and simple:
1. Truly acknowledge that you have sinned against a perfect God and you are worthy of hell that can only be saved by the blood of Jesus Christ
2. Believe that Jesus died for and covered all of your sins and rose again.
3. Say to God that Jesus Christ he is your saviour.
Please let me know. I am praying for you, today is the day of salvation.

That would have enraged me "you only care about money".
