MIA MICHELLE

When did you decide that you wanted to be a model?

I’ve always wanted to model but school was just such a big part of my life that I couldn’t really afford to take the time out to do it. However, during my junior year at USF I had a lighter class load so I tried it out and have been doing it ever since!

How did you balance going to school full time and modeling?

Well I’m a hustler so I made it work! lol… It was very hard I had to turn down a lot of work because I couldn’t miss certain classes. I may of had a test on that day or I needed to stay in town so I could study.

What did you graduate with?

I got my bachelors in Biomedical Science and minored in The Application of Medicine in Physics

What’s your ethnicity? African American

How did you get your name ?

“Mia” is my first name and “Michelle” is my middle name

What are some projects you have worked on?

Ive done national music videos for artists like Lil Wayne, Plies, Akon, Snoop, David Banner, Shawna, Fat Joe, Slim Thug, The Clipse, etc…. Magazines for Blackmens, American Curves, Smooth, KING, Todays Black Woman, SSX, Urban Ink, Calendars for Big Tiggers “Flawless” and Plies, as well as two movies “Life, Love, Soul” and “Still A Teen”

Do you have any management?

No, I’m my own manager

What has been the most memorable moment thus far of your career? Going to Jamaica to shoot for Smooth Magazines “Live in Jamaica” issue and being at the resort “Hedonism” which was full of nude guests… I saw a very prominent day time judge there who has his own show …NAKED hahahhha! I won’t mention his name 😀

Has being an active model made it hard to have a relationship?

I don’t think its hard I just think its easier to be single. I get more done because sometimes you get too comfortable when your in a relationship.

What do you look for in a man?

I like a man who is focused and strong. He also has to have a very relaxed easy going personality…someone who is deep that I can learn from.

I have been single since 2006

What’s the worst experience that you have had while modeling?

I’ve had all good experiences! If I have to say something negative it would be the amount of time you have to sit around while on sets.

How do you weed through who’s really about business?

It’s pretty easy I’m a very good judge of character. I just let someone talk and I listen and see where their heads at.

What type of workout regimen do you follow?

I really dont follow one! I might go to the gym once every two months. I really should cancel my membership hahahaha.

I eat whatever i want, but I hear its going to catch up to me. but I don’t believe it will because my mother is BAD in every way. She’s my size no stretch marks and still looks so young after three kids
