PHOTOMAGAZINE AND Elizabeth Rachel but I'm better known as Model Chick. She is hot, sexy, easy to work with. Model Chick is her name but her game is her sexy, beautiful inner soul. Model Chick will be coming out with her eye candy calendar soon...

Elizabeth Rachel,

I've referred to myself by my middle name ever since I was 14 years old. I'm now 25. I was born in Denver Colorado on February 16, 1983, but raised in Fresno California. !At times you may here me claim "da bay" because I moved out there when I was 14 and didn't come back to Fresno until I was 19. The Bay is where I found myself. That's where I developed my personality. My sarcasm, diversity, boldness...these where formed in The Bay. I say "The Bay" cause I was all over! I lived in Frisco, Oak Town, and good ole Hayward. But I spent all 4 years of High School at the great stomping grounds of George Washington High in San Francisco! Class of 0-1 Holler! There's a lot of great artist that have come from Washington High, Big Rich, J. Davinci, and Bailey just to name a few. And now as an upcoming Model someones going to look back at my picture and one of their year books and say "hey I know that girl

"someones going to look back at my picture and one of their year books and say "hey I know that girl" \ So, where did it all Begin? Well of course like most girls I've always looked at magazines and videos and admired the beauty of the women gracing the covers and on my T.V. screen. I've always been into fashion, not necessarily labels, but creating a style of my own. I've loved makeup since I can remember and got into it even more when I became a makeup consultant for Lancome Cosmetics.

As I've grown and matured I've been continually drawn closer to what has been a somewhat surreal dream. I got a little word of the inside scoop from a cousin of mine that began modeling earlier this year (Caprice Danzy). She, like others in my family encouraged me to get into the industry. But, it wasn't until that first shoot that I felt that this dream was no longer surreal. My first shoot happened to be in Los Angeles. I had spent the day walking around and having lunch at Venice Beach.

What was supposed to be a lesson turned into fabulous pictures. The response that I got back from my photos was unexpected. I started networking and booking and now I'm here today on PHOTOMAGAZINE telling you about me! It's crazy how life works! Oh yes, the name "Model Chick." The name came to me from a close friend of mine who's a Promoter. He once told me that Model Chick is a nick name some of the guys refer to me as, because I looked like a Model Chick. And let's just say that it stuck with me! Enough about that! Lets talk about what the guys want to hear! So, yes I'm single.... Available, you would have to describe available (*wink* *wink*). I've never been married or engaged. I'm always open to get to know someone.

As far as my relationship personality I've always been very confident that I'm that ideal girl! I'm the girl that will cook you that good home cooked meal. Yes I cook!

I'll massage your back...but no I won't braid your hair! I believe in freedom in a relationship and absents makes the heart grow founder. I have no problem with my man going out with "the boyz." I'm a confident woman so, jealousy isn't found and my DNA. I 'm currently working full time as an Apartment Manager of a large Apartment Complex. My goal is to market myself successfully and become a full time model.

Why do Black Men have problem with successful black women?

Do a lot of Black women believe that they have to stand behind and continue to be the back bone in the relationship, shine less in the spotlight to snag a lasting relationship with a man?

And men, what’s wrong with dating or marrying a highly successful Black woman, even if her professional success exceeds yours?

Why is it unattractive for a black female to stand in the front of the relationship.

Why can’t the black man stand behind his woman, and be the back bone in the relationship?…

PHOTOMAGAZINE AND ASHONTO FORD OUR SEXY MODEL WRITER ... THIS YOUNG LADY IS EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL MODEL FROM THE BAYAREA... OAKLAND CALIFORNIA...,

I just made 20 on June 27th and I love my life! I was born and raised in Fresno, Ca where I never quite felt that I belonged. I’ve always loved writing which I used as an outlet.

When I would write it took me somewhere bigger then Fresno, somewhere bigger then me. I won countless writing competitions all throughout school and outside of school. When I turned fourteen I found a new way to express my desires of growth, I fell in love with dance. Dancing created a huge shift in my life. I fell in love with performing. I danced ballet, lyrical, and tap in and outside of school which challenged my confidence and also allowed me to express myself in a different way.

As my confidence grew I branched out to different interests. I started doing fashion shows, art classes and getting involved with talent shows to broaden my spectrum of performance.When I turned 16 my best friend entered me in a modeling fair competition and I won! It was so exciting for me at that point in my life because I had never won anything for modeling. In a way, winning that competition helped pave the way for my new passion.

I moved to Milpitas, Ca after my junior year of high school in search of more. I lived with my aunt, uncle, and two little cousins who quickly helped me adapt to this new way of living. I graduated from Milpitas High and went on to go to San Francisco State. I loved the city! It was fast, it was exciting, it was a challenge; it wasn’t Fresno. Moving to San Francisco convinced me that not only did I want to be a model, I was a model. I started doing photo shoots and learning the structure of my body and face. I joined the SFSU fashion team and was asked to model at all of the main events.
I created a myspace for my modeling and started getting asked to promote for clubs and join modeling groups. I’ve been trying to find myself and the direction I want to go in with my modeling.

With my move back to San Jose, employment change, and school starting back, it was hard to get back into the mode. I tried to put modeling on the back burner but I realized that when I’m modeling, I’m the most alive. Fresno helped push me into my love for expression in everyway. Fresno was quiet enough for me to gain my thoughts in a world of madness and create my own vision of what I wanted to accomplish in life. I thank Fresno for truly paving the way for my fervor.

Identity versus Race
I am a black woman. My race of people is strongly influenced by the stereotypes of today and yesterdays society. These stereotypes are no longer looked at as myth they’re seen as truth and I believe we subconsciously play into these roles. Our cognitive perspective of society and how we fit into it creates analmost ongoing psychological battle between our race and our true identity.

I am poetry, misunderstood by some and very well taken by others. I identify myself as a generation. I am a Black woman at face but my mind, reactions, emotions, and reality has no color or classification. I identify myself with my family, role models, friends, teachers, co-workers, and boyfriend, which all relate to me by the connection we have. That connection is what describes the complexity of my identity, which stretches further then race.20
Identity is the fundamental sense, of which one is based on, including beliefs, desires, likes, and dislikes.

The study of opposing instincts conflicting the minds natural tendency to do as it usually would (Sigmund Freud, 1938) plays a huge role in why we cannot as a race of people distinguish what is expected of us and who we are. Although there are many African Americans that are in touch with themselves it seems to me that every generation gets more and more adrift in a pool of environmentally exhausting expectations that soon become standard.
My race is not my identity; it is the box that I check on applications, it is my judgment to society, and it is my label. Race is far too narrow to describe me, I feel like people often get so deeply caught up in race that they disregard the panoply of themselves beyond their race. It seems to me that the media has a huge part in th e insurmountable effect of race versus identity, which makes it so hard to step out of the box of being black, White, Asian, Hispanic, etc and just be true to yourself and who you are.

Race is any one of the groups into which the world’s population can be divided on the basis of physical characteristics such as skin or hair color. Skin and hair color are bodily aspects of a person. To completely divide yourself from your true identity based on your physical traits can only lead to alteration of your identity. There is a growing attention to social and psychological issues related to African Americans development and achievements (Ford, Harris, & Schuerger, 1993) which is strongly influenced by the lack of acknowledgement of successful Blacks who have not lived by the stereotypes. We are constantly shown that we are athletes, comedians, thieves, drug dealers and immoral.

We, as African Americans, continue to psychologically fight the battle of identity versus race and find ourselves hating our own race. “We hate some persons because we do not know them; and will not know them because we hate them (Colton, Charles 1900’s).” The younger generations have fallen so far from the root of what it means to be African America that they will have to dig to find it and sadly most don’t (Miller, 1999). There are very few examples shown today of Blacks that have not exhausted themselves with false perceptions of what an African America should be.

The general realism on the development in African Americas suggest that ethnic identity plays a protective role in their lives (Patton & Townsend, 1997), students that identify strongly with their ethnic group are better able to find their true identity. Being in touch with who you are allows you to deal with discrimination, racism, and stereotypes a lot better because the level of your self esteem is higher and you are better in tune with your self-value.
Being a Black woman had and still has so much to do with the formation of my identity. Growing up, I always was the only Black girl in all my classes, which forced me to be singled out and be who I was because I wanted to be and not because it was expected. I never meshed into anything or anybody because it was hard for me to relate.

My lack of relation with my on race isolated me and left me confused for most of my Jr. High and High School days. Adjusting to my surrounding while keeping my own individuality is something that I have always admired in myself. We just must clear our minds of the somewhat robotic traits of what it “means” to be African American and realize that we as a nation our changing. We must let go of all of those expectations and be how we are because we are.
