AFIYA BENNETT: "SOMETHING 'TIMELESS' IS A MOTHERS LOVE BECAUSE SHE ALWAYS PUSHES ME TO BE GREAT."

27th May 2014

Who is Afiya Bennett?

I am Afiya Bennett and I am a Model for Marilyn Model Management.

 What did you do before modeling?

Before I became a model I was a dancer and volleyball player. I trained in dance at the Harlem School of the Arts in Ballet and Horton. 

Your personal passion or hidden talents? 

I honestly love to model and learn how to convey different concepts in front of the camera. But if I could sing I would definitely love to be a singer. 

Ten years from now (you will be…)?

Ten years from now I would love to be a supermodel, gracing the covers of hundreds of magazines and campaigns. However, I would definitely love to host my own television show such as 'Oprah' or 'Tyra'. 

Favorite word?

My Favorite word is love. 

What’s no fun?

Rainy days are definitely no fun. 

 Instant gratification? 

An Instant Gratification for me would have to be a vacation to the Bahamas with my favorite girlfriends.

Current 'eye candy'?

My current ''eye candy'' is my boyfriend. 

Something 'Timeless'?

Something 'timeless' is a mothers love because she always pushes me to be great. 

A quote that sums you up:

''Nothing beats a failure but a try''.
