A lot of people ask about my acting experience and how I got onto "One Mo Chance". Well, here's a story... Ever since I was young i knew I'd be called to stardom. I started taking my first acting and modeling classes in the third grade. Every sunday me and my father would drive to Manhattan, New York to attend these acting and modeling classes. After each class we would get cookies from the McDonalds nearby, and that was our cute little routine. At the conclusion of my modeling classes at John Robert Powers, the school I was attending, held a ruway show for us graduated models where I was so excited to invite my cousin and bestie at the time to watch me strut. I modeled a bit during childhood. I've been attending NYFW since middle school and i walked some runway during highschool. During college I was offered my first music video at 18. Knowing that I never wanted to work for anyone in an office in a typical 9-5 lifestyle, I dropped out of college. I started modeling in music videos and posting a few pictures on instagram and to my surprise my social media grew rapidly. I met a "manager" that wanted to have me be an extra in 'Love and Hip Hop New York'. I didnt want to be an extra! After a tumultuos relationship I was finally free to move to Atlanta, Georgia. I chose Atlanta because it is the so called 'Black Hollywood'. While I was in Atlanta I walked runway for a store in the mall, a music video for the migos that was never actually used, I was a bodypaint model for 2 chainz resturaunt 'Escobar', and I got a feature on BET's 'The Quad'. All of that was great but LA was where I really wanted to be. I drove my Mercedes Benz from Atlanta to Los Angeles in two days where I stayed with my aunt for almost half a year. My aunt, her husband, and kids are actors so I followed her advice in doing background work. I was doing audience work and modeling, e commerce modeling. But they're not lying when they say all of acting and career growth is based on who you know. Networking, going to parties, building relationships until Gods sovereign time. At the time I was modeling and acting full time. I would do multiple music videos a day sometimes. The day I got sent the "One Mo Chance" casting some random number sent me an adress for a casting. I had no idea what it was but I was already up and out for a scene I did earlier that day. When I arrived to the casting it was lit! It was crowded with a lot of girls, cameras, and nice cars. While i was at the casting I found out it was for a dating show for Chance. I ended up knowing some of the producers from previous music videos I did and parties. At the time I had a boyfriend but he respected my career; He was also abusive and crazy as ever anyway. He didnt last nor did I respect him. Most of the girls on the show already had boyfriends/girlfriends and was doing the show because thats how us 'talent' made money, through modeling and acting. One Mo Chance was a success. I was happy as always and having fun. Towards the end of the show the tension was high because of all of the drama. But it defintly grew my brand. When the producer asked if i wanted to go on for a second season I said "It didnt make sense because I already was eliminated and Chance didnt seem to like me too much anyway". But when the second season came on I saw that alot of the girls did come back for season 2. I ended up working with the zues network again on Nick Cannon's show 'Bad vs Wild'. I was really excited for this show because I got to travel which is always fun. Although it wasnt that far, just a quick flight from Los Angeles to Vegas lol. I remember watching Wild n Out growing up and it was always funny. It was so exciing to be apart of something I grew up watching and I always wanted to be on 'Wild n Out'! Alot of the projects that God has graced onto me are shows I grew up watching or music I grew up listening to. Its exciting to see that manifest in my life! Which ironically these blessings depthen the bond between God and I. God shows me things and I just get to watch it unfold before my eyes. When I filmed 'Bad vs Wild' I saw the growth of my career firsthand. Starting in the audience clapping on television shows to actually having my own trailer is a miracle. Throughout each day of my life I'm still learning so much about myself and my purpose from God. What God wants from me and all my influence, power. I've gone viral on tikok and instagram, walked the runway Internationally, graced the covers of magazines I grew up reading, and now in movies. Soon to be a movie star. I plan to continue to evolve individually and my career will follow. I intend to live from my heart and express myself as honest as possible. I love being glamurous, sexy, performing, dancing, singing, acting a role so well anyone BELIEVEs it. I intend to express my creativity in all avenues because I will not compartmentalize myself or limit my success or what God can do through me. To this day I'm honored to work with FUBU network. I grew up wearing Fubu. To be on some of the first reality shows that they produced is humbling. My journey is a marathon and I'm grateful God gives me strength to perservere through one of the most difficult careers in the world! I'm astounded by the miracle my life has become. In conclusion, to anyone asking for my advice to get on televsion I would say trust your path and the plan God has for you.
Many Blessings,
Tiffany Walker
