I always have the pleasure of being around
beautifal women...because of me being in the Core DJs...the Core Models
are some of the most beautifal women from around the world...with that
being said...There is a new model on the scene that is actually from
Wilmington, NC and you know I had to get her on Bigg B's World! Welcome
Moni B!
Moni B..How did you get into the world of modeling?
*
I never considered my self to be a 'model.' However I am grateful to my
family and friends that saw something in me that I didn't. I started
out with Black Barbie Ent. From there I began participating as an Escape
Model and Gaddy Girl and now I am a Core Model. This is just the
beginning.
Were you ever discouraged from modeling?
* There
were times that I second guessed myself. I would compare myself to
other models and think that maybe I wasn't good enough. Along with me
growing as a woman I started to understand that there is one me, and I
am unique in my own way. I learned to love myself and everything about
me. In the field of modeling you have to have a tough skin but most
importantly believe in yourself when no one else does.
How do you feel about the model industry labeling women of color with curves "Urban Models?"
*
Women of color are known to have curves and be voluptuous. We are the
definition of 'eye candy." Not all of us are a size 2 or 3 and we don't
fit that typical runway model prototype. Often times we are labeled as
"urban models" however that does not limit what we are capable of
doing.
There is a trend of new models that are dark-skinned, curvy, and not as tall as the 6ft runway model do you think that's a good thing?
*
I am a brown skinned model that is far from 6 ft tall. I think it is
great that the modeling industry is welcoming a variety of skin tones
height, weight, etc. Each and every woman is different and each woman
has their own version of what it is to be sexy. That in itself is
beautiful!
Now, I have seen your curves but you have brains to match...tellem
what university you graduated from...also you are a Sorority
woman...lettem know...

It's very important to be as attractive mentally as it is physically. I
graduated from UNC-Wilmington in 2008 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in
Communication Studies. I was very active while on campus. while there I
became a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. (EEEEEee-yip) in the
Fall of 2006. I was also a member of NAACP as well as the Black Student
Union.
As a model do you have to be mindful of who is really trying to do business and who is trying to holla?
*I
think that it is very important to distinguish the two. From the
beginning you have to make sure that it is understood that you are about
your business. Once that line is crossed, it is very hard to steer back
to business. If someone cannot understand that you are business only or
you feel uncomfortable in a business situation then more than likely
it's not a situation you want to put yourself in.
What do you think is your most attractive feature?
*I would have to say my most attractive feature are my eyes.
Single or in a relationship? Is it hard being in a relationship being the model that you are?
*I
am currently single, however as a model it can be hard to be in a
relationship for many different reasons. That's why it is important to
be with someone who understands and respects what you do.
How does a guy catch Moni B's eye (without being Bigg B lol)?
*LOL!
Well... I am very picky when it comes to men. I haven't always been
that way, but you learn from your mistakes. I love a gentleman. Be
yourself and know how to understand a woman's mind and the way that she
loves. I love a momma's boy, chances are they learned first hand how to
treat a woman.
I'm witnessing you grow into a very professional model...where are
you going from here...or what do you want to do on the model tIip?
*I am
growing, but there is so much more to learn. I have been honored to be a
part of the Core DJ organization so I have great experience and mentors
to learn from. This is just the beginning but you will definitely be
seeing more of Mon!B.
How can we see more of Moni B?? give us the twitter, facebook fan page, instagram etc...
* You can keep up with me on both Twitter and Instragram @iammonib. I'll follow back!
