DaCosta: Who is your biggest inspiration?
Seyara: My biggest inspiration in modeling is the one and only Tyra Banks. I have learned so much and have been able to self teach myself a lot of necessary skills from watching America’s Next Top Model. I would spend so much time taking notes on posing, attitude, smizing, runway, commercial, editorial, etc. My favorite and most used things that I’ve learned from Tyra is the the very very necessary tool of practice.
Someone also very inspirational to my modeling is model Demi Hannah Scott. I was really impressed with her edgy look and personality during a Rihanna Fenty Puma runway show. I since have embraced my edgy characteristics, understanding that it is a strength and a necessary part of my look.
What’s your greatest accomplishment so far?
My greatest accomplishment so far would have to be learning self love and good intentions. I wouldn’t be where I am today in any manner without it. This includes any belief that I can do something. I feel like this is a lot deeper than just belief. I’m so sure of myself. Just like I’m sure I’m going to breathe. Just like I’m sure I can blink and move my toes. I believe this much about everything, but first starting with how I feel about myself and what my intentions are. It took a lot of time and practice. A lot of healing from trauma and pain too. I hope to inspire others to have a level of love like this. We all deserve it.
What are your modelling dreams?
My modeling dreams are to work for all major brands and agencies all over the world. Fenty, Nike, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Rolex, OVO, Levi’s, Hermès...Wilhelmina, Next, Elite, Ford.
I will walk in all major fashion week runway shows and work passionately with innovative designers and creatives. My dreams are to be the soul of projects. I want to connect with like minds and work closely with those who have inspired me. My dreams are to learn and teach the skills I obtain. To help guide and inspire others.
