"Modeling was not something I had originally planned or wanted for myself. I'm lucky and thankful to my friend Riccardo Tisci, who started me with one of his amazing campaigns for Givenchy. Through my job, I've been trying to give a positive message to everyone out there, and I think it's been very well received so far."
"When I became the face of Redken, I felt pride, honor, [and] responsibility. [I felt] that I had finally made it and that everything is possible, thanks to their brave decision. Redken is such an iconic brand, and it's truly an honor. I think hair is one of the things that people can change to match their mood and to make them feel original."
I Feel Myself Up Close Gina Cherie
"I feel more confident today then ever before. I think confidence and being vulnerable are kind of related. I spent the last five years of my life being as vulnerable as I possibly could, not just with the people following me, but more importantly with myself. If you can lay all your hurts and scars on the table for all to see, you gain some amazing confidence."
"To me beauty is a term that can have several interpretations: It can be how one feels on the inside, or it could be how one chooses to express oneself on the outside. Beauty has been a journey of self-authentication for me. It has meant not being afraid to be myself in a world that has had a hard time understanding my journey."
I am originally from a small town near Bryce Canyon National Park. I grew up participating in rodeo (barrel racing and even rode a bull once!), volleyball, basketball, track, student government and cheerleading. I love the small town feel of Laveen and the opportunity Heritage scholars have to be involved in a variety of activities. 2ff7e9595c
