Ever wonder what it takes to travel the world as an in demand super model? How to navigate the ups and downs of an incredibly dynamic industry? Maybe you have someone in your life who is starting out in the business that could use the sage advice of someone who is fully immersed? Or maybe you wonder what it's like to put the modeling to the side so you can be a leading activist? This is an opportunity to spend 45 minutes over coffee with an amazing woman who has a wealth of experience and an open heart.
