Cash Lane: I like it when people scream my name, you know? It just gets you excited! I like being on the runway. /laughs But, it's a lot of great aspects to it. The traveling, the networking, you meet so many people and you can go so far in this industry if you are dedicated to it. It's a lot of positive things.
Malique: Just seeing all of the work pay off. It may be tough through the entire process but, seeing the results from there. Whether it be a show or shoot or, whatever.
Kandice: I would definitely say for me it is the supporters, connecting with the people. Just everyday life, seeing people that are supporting you. That have watched your work, that has watched your growth and they are looking to you for inspiration or, whatever guidance, that to me is very powerful. Or, just people reaching out to you on social media because your journey has helped them grow. That is the biggest thing for me.
Anzzia: For the new people, you guys have been models for a while now. Have you been approached by anyone who has seen your work and said, “I absolutely love what you are doing!”, or anything like that? If so, what was the reaction? How did that go for you?
Xavier: I was approached by a photographer that was, I think he was in London or something like that. He ended up hitting me up on Instagram saying, “I am absolutely fascinated by what you do so far.” I was like, “Thank you.”
Everyone: /laughs
Xavier: He said, “I am coming down to Jacksonville to do a shoot eventually.” We never actually got to link up because when I was in Orlando, he was in Jacksonville, when he was in Jacksonville, I was in Orlando.
Anzzia: Crazy modeling schedule.
Xavier: Right. It's like, “I got a fan in London.” /laughs
Everyone: /laughs
Cash Lane: I started a new job this week and prior to me starting the job I had a fashion show in Jacksonville that I modeled and danced for. So, when I started the new job everyone was like, "Oh my God! You were on Instagram!" I was like, "Y'all saw my video?!" /laughs I mean, one, it is surprising but, also it is honorable. You saw me, you liked it, you enjoyed it. I am doing something that is positive and I am getting positive feedback from it.
Anzzia: And you remembered!
Cash Lane: Yes! /laughs
Malique: Really, I don't get too many people saying they know what I do, like randomly. But, this is my level and I get a lot of support. I know that I am making a lot of people proud, so I just keep going.
Anzzia: So, you have a lot of supporters behind you?
Malique: Absolutely.
