Today we’d like to introduce you to Maryjane E.
Hi Maryjane , thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I’m originally from Nigeria, and my journey has taken me across different parts of the world as I built my career in modeling, content creation, and community leadership. I’m also a healthcare student, which has shaped my discipline, resilience, and the way I connect with people.
Being 6ft6 plus size model naturally made me stand out, and instead of shrinking myself, I turned it into my strength. I’m deeply into fitness -weight lifting, strength training, and even wrestling which all play a big role in my confidence and the powerful tall‑girl identity I’ve built online.
I started creating tall‑girl content to inspire confidence and celebrate uniqueness, which eventually grew into the Tall Queens Official community a space for tall women to feel seen, empowered, and proud of who they are.
As my platform grew, I began modeling, working with brands that align with my height and aesthetic, and traveling to places like London, Uae, Stockholm, Bangkok etc to create lifestyle and fashion content.
My story is about embracing what makes me different, staying authentic, and using my platform to uplift others while continuing to grow as a model, creator, and future healthcare professional.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It definitely hasn’t been a smooth road. Being 6ft6 in a world that isn’t built for tall women came with a lot of insecurity at first — from finding clothes that fit to dealing with comments and assumptions. Turning that into confidence took time.
Building my platform internationally also came with challenges: learning to navigate different cultures, balancing my healthcare studies with modeling and content creation, and staying consistent while traveling.
In fitness, weight lifting and wrestling pushed me physically and mentally, teaching me discipline and resilience. And as a creator, I had to learn everything myself branding, editing, community building without any shortcuts.
Every struggle shaped me. It made me stronger, more focused, and more determined to create a space where tall women feel empowered and represented.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m a model, content creator, and fitness‑driven creative known for my tall‑girl branding and strong visual storytelling. At 6ft6, I’ve built a unique lane in the fashion and lifestyle space by embracing my height, strength, and athletic energy. I specialize in creating bold, confident content that blends modeling, travel, fitness, and empowerment.
I’m also the founder of Tall Queens Official — a community dedicated to uplifting tall women and helping them feel represented, confident, and proud of their identity. My work spans modeling collaborations, lifestyle shoots, fitness content, and international travel projects in places like London, UAE, Netherlands, Stockholm, and Bangkok.
What sets me apart is my combination of height, strength, authenticity, and versatility. I’m a healthcare student, a weight‑lifting and wrestling enthusiast, and a creator who uses her platform to inspire others. I’m most proud of building a community and brand that encourages women to stand tall — literally and figuratively while continuing to grow as a model, athlete, and creative.
What would you say have been one of the most important lessons you’ve learned?
The biggest lesson I’ve learned is to stop shrinking myself. My height, strength, and uniqueness are my power. Once I embraced who I am fully everything in my life started moving forward.
