AMPS:\u00a0 Do you prefer panties, thongs or nothing at all?<\/strong><\/p>\nNaima: I prefer nothing at all because I like to be free. In bed, I don\u2019t believe in any clothing in bed, no socks and not even wrapping my hair. I think it is the most annoying thing ever. Underwear is like just like socks, especially in the summer time when it\u2019s hot outside.<\/p>\n
AMPS: What are three qualities you look for in a man?<\/strong><\/p>\nNaima: Charisma, intelligence and loyalty are three characteristics I look for in a man.<\/p>\n
AMPS: What is one thing, off the top that is a turnoff in a man?<\/strong><\/p>\nNaima: I don\u2019t like when people see me in the street and they tap me to get my attention. It annoys the living soul out of me.<\/p>\n
AMPS: What is the worst come on line you\u2019ve ever heard?<\/strong><\/p>\nNaima: I would drink that tall glass of water.<\/p>\n
AMPS: Tell us about your religious background.<\/strong><\/p>\nNaima: I grew up as a Christian; I went to a catholic High school. As an adult I am a Christian.<\/p>\n
AMPS:\u00a0 What is one characteristic that you like in your mother?<\/strong><\/p>\nNaima: She is one stern lady. I like the tough love she gives me. When I am crying she tells me to suck it up, get back up and move on. So when I am emotional, she gives me that balance.<\/p>\n
AMPS: What is the one thing that have picked up from her that when you look in the mirror you see it?<\/strong><\/p>\nNaima: I get my figure and my nose from her. My mother can be a bully, aggressive, annoying, and intrusive with her own opinions. I see that in me and it scares me. I don\u2019t want to be that person.<\/p>\n
AMPS: What person do you admire the most in modeling and why? Do you see yourself liking anyone else?<\/strong><\/p>\nNaima: I don\u2019t really know much about Naomi Campbell but I watched her on \u2018The Face\u2019 and she spoke on something about where she came from. I have always been a no excuse type of person. Like playing basketball, I\u2019ve learned that diligent and militant mentality of just do it. Everyone thinks that she is just a B-i-t-c-h, but no one knows her story and how far she have come to where she is today and why she is Naomi Campbell. Or why she can throw her phone at her assistant if she wants to because she didn\u2019t do whatever she wanted her to do. As the host of the \u2018The Face\u2019, Naomi asked a candidate, Give her a reason why she should win over another candiate. The response was something that Naomi took as an excuse rather than a reason. Naomi told her that people dont care about that right now!\u00a0 No one cares about that and no one is worried. So suck it up, get over it and you\u2019re here now. As harsh as that was, I took that message in a positive way. From that point, I never knew her but from what she said it just gave me a really good image of what kind of person she is. It was humbling. To me that is a very good role model because that is someone who has actually been through things and you can see that story without having to flip a page. So I definitely look up to someone like that.<\/p>\n
AMPS:\u00a0 What do you want to be and when you get to that place you can say I have done what I was supposed to do?<\/strong><\/p>\nNaima: I want to be that girl that has walked every runway and that knows every fashion designer. That goes to shows and kisses fashion designers and hears them say \u2018Naima is here\u2019 all night. I want to be that girl that every designer knows about and every designer wants to come walk and take photos in their new clothing line or whatever it may be. I want to be that girl.<\/p>\n
AMPS:\u00a0 If you had the power to influence one thing in the world what would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\nNaima: I would like to change the inner cities. I lived in Trenton for a little bit and I get disgusted and upset when I\u2019m driving down to Bellevue from my neighborhood across the street it\u2019s the hood. I get mad because I just see and I know that they aren\u2019t doing anything. They just there and they don\u2019t want to propel. They are complacent and content with it. If I could be like a big sister or something in the community.<\/p>\n
AMPS: Do you have any quotes to live by in life?<\/strong><\/p>\nNaima: \u201cCarpe Diem\u201d Seize the day.<\/p>\n
AMPS:\u00a0 What\u2019s the best make-up job you\u2019ve ever had?<\/strong><\/p>\nNaima: One of my best friends and roommate, Annabelle from college. She could beat a face like that. She got me into wanting to wear make-up because I used to be natural. Once how I saw how make-up enhanced me, I got hooked. It was like the changing moment of my make-up life.<\/p>\n
AMPS: Do you have anything to say to anyone reading the article? What you say to kids growing up to motivate them to do what they want to do?<\/strong><\/p>\nNaima: Don\u2019t let anyone influence you into what you want to do. You want to do something; you have to want to do it. You have to take the steps to do it. No one is going to do it for you. No one is going to hold your hand. No one is going to make the decision for you. Do something that you love and don\u2019t just do something just to get by. If you are doing something to get by make sure that you are at least doing what you love on the side. Life isn\u2019t about just getting by; it\u2019s about actually enjoying it, whatever that you chose to do. Nothing is more important than doing something that is uninfluenced by someone else. That means that what you\u2019re doing you\u2019re standing on and no one else can take that from you.<\/p>\n
I want to give a shout out to my best friend Charisma Johnson. She is like my backbone and my ride or die. She lets me know when I\u2019m crazy, she lets me know when I\u2019m making stupid decisions, and she lets me know when I\u2019m headed in the right direction. I want to give a shout out to my family in New Jersey that held me down. Shout out to all my coaches that put that militant mentality in my head. Shout out the crew here for believing in me. Shout out to the makeup artist Q.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I am rather new to the modeling industry approximately a couple of months ago and started taking it seriously.
