![]() My family plays a huge part, my mom, granny, younger siblings, and cousins all support me and motivate me to continue and strive for greatness, I can’t stop until I achieve every dream. ![]() He pushes me and motivates me in his own way and although we may not agree on everything, we still come to a middle ground and I love him to death. My dad has been my rock my entire life and I would not be where I am today if not for him. I’m even more happy because I know that this is only my beginning.īIG shout out to my dad G Money. I plan on dropping an EP this year and also releasing my own fashion brand which will be cut and sewn by hand by me, so STAY ON THE LOOK OUT!!! Where I am in life, doing what I love at this age, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I am staying focused on all of my crafts. I used to feel incomplete when I wasn’t doing all of my passions. I believe all of my passions are what set me apart from others because I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t do everything I loved. I am most proud of being apart of the Beats by Dre campaign called “you love me” it is a beautiful piece that represents not only how beautiful but how influential black culture truly is. If you ask anyone I’m close to “What does Joi do?” their response would probably “What doesn’t she do!”. I like to think of myself as an artist because everything that I do, modeling, singing, dancing, and writing, is a form of art. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others? Until I got a little older and regained confidence in myself and my abilities. So as that dream died, I dove into my other talents. I was crushed and the sad part about it was I actually started to believe that I wasn’t good enough to become a model. I wanted to model when I was younger and was told I’d probably never have a shot because I’m too short and had thick hair. We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road? ![]() I fell in love with modeling and after that Magdalena and I created my portfolio and blasted it out to agencies all across California and I ended up getting signed to Minelli Management not long after. I loved everything about it, the energy, the fast pace, the creativity, and the freedom I had when I was on set. The doubt I had in myself about anything vanished. I will never forget the spark in her eyes when she helped me with my first photoshoot, it immediately lit my fire and I felt “this is where I belong”. We became friends and one day, I asked her “How do I become a model?”. Her interest in me peaked my interest in my modeling dream that was deferred. She was interviewing me for a documentary and I was telling her about my talents and she became very impressed with them. I met this amazing photographer Magdalena Wosinska. To sum it up, I sing, song write, dance, act, write poetry, photography, hairstylist, and most recently modeling and fashion design, So yeah, I do a lot of things. My friends make jokes and say I’m “a jack of all trades, the all of the above option” because I do almost everything. I was able to express myself in ways I never knew and since then, I haven’t looked back. ![]() I immediately fell in love with all with creative arts because it was like another world away from the one I was in. I started off with a childhood that was filled with many challenges that required me to mature faster than most kids my age. Hi Joi, so excited to have you with us today. Today we’d like to introduce you to Joi Featherstone.
