Growing up, she was captivated by the fashion world and how models commanded attention with their presence and poise. However, as she admired the industry from afar, she often wondered where she fit in.<\/p>\n<p>The fashion industry has long been selective in defining beauty, and as a Black and queer model in Montreal, Jenny has had to carve out her spotlight. She knew the road wouldn\u2019t be easy, but she held onto her dream, inspired by those who came before her\u2014women who broke barriers, challenged norms, and redefined representation. Now, as she steps onto the runway, it\u2019s not just about the clothes; it\u2019s about claiming her place, standing tall, and showing others that they, too, belong.<\/p>\n<h4>Just a Girl with a Dream<\/h4>\n<p>Born in Sierra Leone and raised in Canada, Jenny\u2019s journey into fashion has been shaped by both passion and resilience. Like many Black girls navigating high school, she faced bullying\u2014an experience that continues to inspire her journey. Her love for fashion began at a young age. As a teenager, she practiced her walk, mimicking the runway models she watched on Netflix and YouTube. Designers like Balmain and Jacquemus weren\u2019t just inspirations; they were reflections of the world she longed to be a part of.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-110489 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Runway.j-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"385\" height=\"578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Runway.j-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Runway.j-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Runway.j-600x901.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Runway.j-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Runway.j-768x1153.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Runway.j-800x1201.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Runway.j-1023x1536.jpg 1023w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Runway.j.jpg 1066w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 385px) 100vw, 385px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Modeling became more than just chasing a dream; it was about reclaiming her confidence. &#8220;I used to get bullied for not being on-trend or well-dressed,&#8221; she shares, reflecting on her journey from those early struggles to her current life in downtown Montreal. &#8220;So I promised myself that one day, I\u2019d be fashionable.&#8221; That promise became her driving force, transforming past pain into a vision for the future.<\/p>\n<h4>Navigating Identity in the Industry<\/h4>\n<p>Identity has always been a significant topic in the fashion world, and Montreal is no exception. As a Black and queer model, Jenny has constantly battled with her identity. Despite the industry\u2019s claims of diversity, she has experienced firsthand the preference for lighter-skinned models. &#8220;Agencies say they\u2019re inclusive, but when you go to castings, it\u2019s clear they\u2019re not,&#8221; she says. &#8220;If you\u2019re mixed or have curly hair, you have a better chance. But if you\u2019re dark-skinned, it\u2019s much harder.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Instead of conforming to outdated industry standards, she is determined to carve out a space where beauty is defined on her terms.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This exclusion has not only affected her career but has also taken a toll on her mental health. &#8220;I went through depression. I even hurt myself because of it,&#8221; she shares candidly. &#8220;It\u2019s painful to be shut out of something you know you should be a part of.&#8221; Nevertheless, Jenny refuses to let the industry define her worth. &#8220;I know I belong here, and I\u2019m not changing myself to fit into someone else\u2019s idea of beauty.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The pressure to belong is something she has fought for throughout her journey, prompting her to rethink her physical appearance. &#8220;I\u2019ve thought about changing my teeth, my nose, even removing my breasts\u2014just to fit in,&#8221; she admits. However, over time, she has come to embrace the features that make her unique. Instead of conforming to outdated industry standards, she is determined to carve out a space where beauty is defined on her terms.<\/p>\n<p>On one hand, being part of the LGBTQ+ community has enabled her to connect with others who share similar experiences. &#8220;You meet a lot of people who are bisexual, gay, or transgender, and you don\u2019t feel alone,&#8221; she says. However, she acknowledges that her race presents more obstacles than her sexuality does.<\/p>\n<h4>Finding Belonging on the Runway<\/h4>\n<p>Despite the challenges, Jenny has found moments that reaffirm her passion for modeling. One of her most defining experiences was walking the runway for the Signature of College LaSalle. &#8220;It was magical,&#8221; she recalls. &#8220;Having professional makeup artists, assistants, and all that attention reminded me why I work so hard. It felt like haute couture.&#8221;\u00a0 \u201cIt was incredible\u2014so professional. It felt like a Parisian runway, like true haute couture,&#8221; Jenny recalls. &#8220;You couldn\u2019t tell the difference. We even had models from major brands\u2014people who have walked for Vogue, Miu Miu, and Versace. They shared their experiences about modeling on the other side of the industry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-110491 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Madfes.1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"943\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Madfes.1-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Madfes.1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Madfes.1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Madfes.1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Madfes.1.jpg 684w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 943px) 100vw, 943px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Another standout moment was at a runway show organized by Amashika, a Black designer of Espace Urbain. &#8220;She always includes me in her shows and celebrates me,&#8221; Jenny says. &#8220;Before her runways, I had never worn traditional African clothes. Now, I embrace them, and I love how they look on me.&#8221;\u00a0 I modeled her designs during Montreal\u2019s famous MAD Festival.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Whether she\u2019s designing her next outfit or exploring a new dance routine, Jenny\u2019s creativity is always in motion [&#8230;].<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It was incredible\u2014so professional. It felt like a Parisian runway, like true haute couture,&#8221; Jenny recalls. &#8220;You couldn\u2019t tell the difference. We even had models from major brands\u2014people who have walked for Vogue, Miu Miu, and Versace. They shared their experiences about modeling on the other side of the industry.&#8221; The event\u2019s inclusivity left a lasting impression on her. &#8220;There were so many different people\u2014LGBTQ, Black women, brown skin, light skin\u2014everyone was there. For once, I felt normal,&#8221; she says. &#8220;It gave me courage. Honestly, it was the best one I\u2019ve ever been part of.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>Crazy Fact About Jenny: A Creative Force at Heart<\/h4>\n<p>Despite the challenges Jenny faces in the fashion industry, her motivation goes beyond just her modeling career. When she\u2019s not strutting down the runway or posing for photoshoots, Jenny channels her creativity into various artistic pursuits. From painting and designing to sewing and dancing, she explores it all. Her creativity knows no bounds.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love to draw and design my clothes,\u201d she says with a smile. \u201cWhen I\u2019m not working, you\u2019ll find me sketching a new dress or experimenting with colors and fabrics. It\u2019s my way of expressing myself differently, outside of modeling. I get to be both the creator and the model.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether she\u2019s designing her next outfit or exploring a new dance routine, Jenny\u2019s creativity is always in motion, demonstrating that her talents extend far beyond the catwalk.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Representation matters because it gives people the confidence to pursue their dreams.<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4>The Importance of Representation &amp; Looking to the Future<\/h4>\n<p>For Jenny, representation isn\u2019t just about visibility\u2014it\u2019s about creating opportunities and empowering others. Growing up, she often did not see many Black lesbian models in magazines or on television, which made her journey even more challenging. Now, as she steps into the spotlight, she hopes to pave the way for the next generation of aspiring models who can see themselves reflected in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to be that model who someone looks up to and says, \u2018She made it, so I can too,\u2019\u201d Jenny shares. \u201cRepresentation matters because it gives people the confidence to pursue their dreams. When they see someone who looks like them, they feel like they belong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-110493 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20250303-WA0021-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"578\" height=\"866\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20250303-WA0021-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20250303-WA0021-400x600.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20250303-WA0021-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20250303-WA0021-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20250303-WA0021-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20250303-WA0021-800x1200.jpg 800w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20250303-WA0021-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sayaspora.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG-20250303-WA0021.jpg 1067w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Her advice to aspiring models is simple yet impactful: \u201cKnow what you\u2019re getting into. Be confident, promote yourself, and build your brand. The industry is tough, and not everyone will be kind, but if you remain strong and consistent, you can carve out your own space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want my legacy to be that I inspired others and showed that being true to yourself and breaking through barriers can lead to success. I want people to remember that I helped build a community where everyone\u2014regardless of race, gender, or sexuality\u2014feels like they belong.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From breaking down industry barriers to celebrating her artistic identity, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":110487,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[238],"tags":[241],"couleur":[],"etiquette-darchives":[],"type-de-ressource":[],"class_list":["post-110486","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-magazine-en","tag-art-and-culture"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 -
