I just completed the reading of the entries for each contestant and viewing their pictures. Each contestant is such a lovely sister with a story to tell. Here is what stood out for me. Christina – I like her tale of her connectedness to things Jamaican and southern. I think that was a natural […]
NP Challengr #3
Hello, ladies. All of you look so beautiful in challenge number 3. I’m loving the locs and twist. You guys are so creative with your photos and locations. It was a hard decision and I eventually chose Teesha on her write up and photos. Her photos were beautiful and stood out in the bunch. […]
First Three Challenges :)
So far, the most difficult thing about this competition is switching from the role of model to photogopher. I have to think past composition, facial expression, and body positioning and now have to focus on picture quality, lighting, etc. This has been no easy task. I have grown to respect the roll of photographer so […]

Being part of this competition is hopefully preparing me for bigger things in the future. I lost my job […]
Natural Food for Natural Hair
When I received my box for America’s Next Natural Model competition, I was excited to try the Jamaican Mango & Lime products because my sister, who has locs, informed me that she used the Leave in Moisturizer from the Cactus line and that she loved the product.
Challenge 2… decisions, decisions!
Congratulations to everyone on fantastic entries. Challenge 2 was definitely more impressive than Challenge 1 and your entries were all so beautiful and well thought out. For me, one entry stood out more than the others. That entry was Karla’s SULA NYC TAKE ME AWAY!!!!! What impressed me about her essay was her attention to […]
