Tiera Deberry: Confidence Is Key

Tiera Deberry is from Wilson, North Carolina

Admin Assistant during the day, a CNA at night and a Model 24/7. 

She inspired herself to start taking her modeling career seriously this year. Yet! she wishes she could say that she has been modeling for awhile. She's only been in one fashion show but that was enough to spark her passion for fashion and make her dedicated to establishing herself as a serious model.

 She’s been wanting to model since she was a teenage, but she shares that she didn't feel she had the confidence. She didn’t feel like she would fit in, if she was pretty enough or that she would get accepted in the modeling entertainment world. The more mature she became the more confidence she built and now she understands that modeling is what she wants to do and she’s not stopping until she gets where she wants to be in this modeling industry. 

Advice

If “you want to model for real make sure that you are dedicated. Don’t let one “No” detour you from your dream. Learn from all your criticism so it can build you to a great model..." 

The ability to offer advice, self reflect and learn can go hand in hand. The modeling industry can be a peculiar place but she explains that she wouldn’t change anything about the modeling industry. She feels like every aspect of modeling is a growing process. As a model she DOES feel she needs to work on being more sociable with other models. She says sometimes her shyness gets the best of her. She can become a little stand offish if she doesn’t know a person and that’s one thing she needs to work on as a model, in her book.
