In today's episode, I interview 5' foot 5'' petite model, Hannah Mussette. Hannah started her modeling journey in her teens. She did a lot of free work for a couple of years to build her experience and eventually got signed to New York Model Management after she attended IMTA, a famous modeling competition. It was until she got signed that she started doing paid work. Hannah is currently signed to top modeling agency Red Model Management and she shares with us her struggles as a short model and how her career has grown and developed after being discovered.

In this episode, I gave you the chance to interview me and ask me questions about the modeling industry and my modeling journey. I answered questions related to how to get started, how to stand out in castings/auditions, what it is like to go see an agency, are there any short runway models, what does it take to become a supermodel, how to learn to love yourself in an industry that can say you're not enough and many more questions! 

Thank you so much to everyone who submitted their questions!

In today's episode, I interview Dominique Robinson, a 5'5 1/2'' petite model who used to be signed with Wilhelmina Models and Milk Model Management and is now currently with Women360, an agency owned by top modeling agency Women. Dominque started modeling around 15 years old, and even though she constantly got told she was "too short" over and over again, that did not stop her from going after her dreams. After successfully booking amazing work for brands like CoverGirl, Maybelline, Topshop, Abercrombie, and more, she sits down with us to tell us exactly how she has made it this far!

In today's episode, I interview my mother agent Kim Alley. Kim started as a model for Ford Models, she traveled the world working for Calvin Klein, Victoria Secret, Chanel, Armani, and many more brands, magazines & designers. After she decided to quit modeling, she became a manager for Elite Models and now she works as an independent scout and mother agent. With over 30 years of experience in the industry, I decided to ask her the most common questions a model who is unfamiliar with a mother agent could have plus we talk about Kim's modeling career, how long it took her to make money, and facing rejection.

Aly is not only a petite model, but a true force of nature. After loosing one of her breasts, she was able to save her life but her agents dropped her. Failing to find someone to look up to not feel so alone, she decided to become that person for others. Aly ended up becoming the first model with one breast to be published in Vanity Fair & Glamour Magazine, she was able to find agents that love her for who she is, made it top 60 at Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Search in 2019 and is currently working as a model, proving us that nothing can really get in the way of our dreams. 

In today's episode I interview successful petite model Aliana King. Standing at just 5 foot 4, Alina has proven that a shorter height cannot stop you from making it in the business.
