I first met Jente when we were models for an Ashley Stewart fashion show and we have worked on other projects together. I see a lot of potential in her and I hope to see her continue to do well in the plus size modeling industry. To learn more about Jente, here is her interview.
Jchell: Where are you from?
Jente: Dallas, TX (Oak Cliff).
Jchell: Where did you attend high school/college?
Jente: Lincoln High School/ El Centro.
Jchell: What are some of your main interests and hobbies?
Jente: My main interests are setting goals for myself and conquering them. My hobbies are being creative, shopping (thrift stores), reading books, watching documentaries and just staying humble, making my own distress jeans and jackets.
Jchell: How long have you been modeling?
Jente: I’ve been modeling since June of 2016 and it’s been great.
Jchell: Are you an independent or agency model?
Jente: I’m independent.
Jchell: What was it like starting out as a model?
Jente: It was great starting out and still going great. At times you have your hiccups but that's life. Hold your head up, smile and keep it moving.
Jchell: Who is your favorite photographer(s)?
Jente: D. Lacy and Marcus Perryman.
Jchell: Have you been published in any magazines?
Jente: Yes, I have Curvz Magazine and Arts Institute Catalog (fashion).
Jchell: Besides modeling, have you done any acting?
Jente: No, I haven't, but I am open to it.
Jchell: Let's talk about your beauty regimen. How do you keep your hair and skin looking healthy?
Jente: Well, I wash my face with Dove Shea Butter soap. I have an avocado rub that I use as well (homemade) and I also use raw shea butter to moisturize my skin.
Jchell: What are your favorite fashion trends you love?
Jente: Vintage, pleated skirts, high waist jeans, any kind of shirt that I can add my own touch to it and I’m so in love with everything blue jean and distressed.
Jchell: Every girl has a special “can't live without this” in her closet, what's yours?
Jente: Jackets, I love them and can't live without them.
Jchell: Knowing what you know, what advice would you give to other models trying to establish themselves?
Jente: If you are passionate about it go hard, don't give up, stay focused and keep your head on straight. It may get tough at times, but always remember you are your own best interest. No model looks alike unless you're twins, so you have to find out what makes you stand out the most and focus on that. Stay confident through it all, everybody is not going to support you and that's ok as long as you know who's been rocking with you since day 1. “YOU GOT THIS, SO KEEP PUSHING.”
Jchell: Is there anything else you would like to add?
Jente: Put God First and everything else will follow and never put your dreams on hold.
