Today we’d like to introduce you to Nicole Mosley.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Nicole. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Born Nicole Mosley in Dallas, Texas; “Heaven” began her modeling career in the curvy model arena. Breaking through as a plus-size model was challenging when I first started, but it has been a great platform to show that true beauty comes in many shapes, sizes, and shades of skin tone. It’s now more acceptable being a curvy or voluptuous model whereas in the past it was frowned upon. Heaven previously worked on promotional events with Distinctiv Class Models as her agent. She has worked as a Team Lead training and managing a group of ambitious models.
Now working as a freelance model, I recently stepped into the fashion industry and participated in my first fashion show “The I Am Fearfully and Wonderfully Made Fashion Tour” Dallas edition in support of sickle cell awareness. I’ve since continued on and walked in three more fashion shows in 2019 including one in Houston, Texas. With over six years in the business, I’m still eager and excited about every facet of modeling.
My ultimate goal is to mentor other aspiring young models who may face the same challenges I have faced. I want to encourage, inspire, and help them with their self-esteem issues because each one of us are beautiful and unique in our own way. Heaven has hosted and participated at Rip The Mic, I’m So Dallas Platform, PrymeBar SavageLife artist contest, various photoshoots, video, and other promotional events including boxing weigh in with pro boxer, Tony Mack.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Nothing is ever as easy as it looks. I’ve spent countless nights without sleep planning events. A lot of my own resources are used in order to make an event or shoot successful. Most of the time, you spend more than you bring in. There have been so many times I wanted to give up, but if you don’t invest in yourself, how do you expect anyone else to do so?
Please tell us more about your work.
Models basically provide a service of advertising or promoting. I host events, model clothes/garments/accessories for designers, stylists, artists, etc.
If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
I honestly don’t think I would change a thing. This journey has taught me so much about the business which is why I’m able to do what I do today.
