Miami Beach Bikini Model

Bikni Model
Mekiya Raphael a.k.a MzBerryy

 Her first modeling experience was at the age of 14. Her first bikini modeling experience was at the age of 21. It was for a runway show for a local boutique in Miami.

Her inspiration to model came from her aunt. She encouraged and promoted confidence in her life to model and reassured her that she would be great. She has been in over 20 runway shows but she must say 2017 Miami Swim Week was the best by far. She did a huge runway show at the W Hotel on Miami Beach and it was such a beautiful experience.

One challenge that she had to overcome as a model was being a teen mom. It is still difficult due to her traveling a lot, but thankfully she has a supportive family.

The other creative talents that she has are Photography, and Editing. She did not go to school for this. It is a natural talent. She has a creative eye although she has learned a lot from photographers that she’s worked with.


Her advice to up to upcoming models: 
“You do not have to be naked on social networks to be a successful model. Do your research and homework on the industry and use your uniqueness to stand out and you will go far…”


If there is one thing she could change about the modeling industry it would be the negative stereotype associated with models being seemingly "unintelligent and promiscuous." The point is modeling is expanding and this just does not apply to most models anymore.

If she could model or do a photo-shoot with any Top Model in the world it would be: Draya Michelle. She is her inspiration to be great in the modeling industry, expand to acting and ultimately evolve into her own business owner.

Events coming up
She is currently traveling with The International Auto Show representing Genesis. This summer she will be in Miami Swim week once again. She is also taking acting classes so look out for her in future Films and TV shows!
