  • Ep. 8 | The Evolution of Keenyah Hill: Life Beyond ANTM & the Next Chapter

    In this episode of the UnDunn Podcast, Ashley Dunn sits down with Keenyah Hill, who many of us first met nearly 20 years ago on America’s Next Top Model, Cycle 4.


    Now a Pose Coach, Model Mentor, and Mother Agent, Keenyah reflects on her journey from entering the industry at just 19 years old to navigating body scrutiny, behind-the-scenes realities of ANTM, and the long road to healing and self-acceptance. She opens up about how those early experiences shaped her mental health, confidence, and relationship with her body and herself— and what she wishes people understood about reality TV then and now.

    We also talk about stepping into a powerful new chapter at 40, and what alignment, peace, and purpose look like today. Keenyah shares her full-circle moment coaching Savannah James for the Met Gala, offers practical posing tips for everyday people, and reveals what truly brings her joy as she looks ahead to the future.


    This conversation is honest, reflective, and deeply empowering — a reminder that finding your light isn’t about perfection, it’s about growth, grace, and becoming at your own pace.

We discussed this relatable and funny coming-of-age story and what it took to get this brilliant story told. I spoke with Queenie stars Dionne and Bellah about their roles and Candice shared with me what she hopes viewers will feel after watching “Queenie”.


    Created by Candice Carty-Williams, “Queenie” is executive produced by Carty-Williams, who will also serve as showrunner. Non-writing executive producers are Further South’s Steve November and Sarah Conroy, with Lisa Walters as co-executive producer and series producer. The series is produced by Further South Productions in association with Lionsgate TV.
