Love, love, love Pearl School of Modeling and Leadership Academy. My daughter is a graduate and the experiences she had and continues to have are very positive , supportive, and inspiring and it has helped her improve her self confidence.
This review though, is about the amazing show last Saturday night, "Soiree' With the Pearls." My husband and I enjoyed the show !! It was a very high energy and classic production. I even found myself dancing a bit..
Ms. Pearl, her awesome team, the models , designers and talents were all amazing!! You absolutely do not want to miss another ALNP Academy Fashion Show. Keep up the good work and more success to follow. ❤

Pearl school of modeling and leadership academy. I recently enrolled my daughter in the program due to her shyness and insecurities, and have already noticed a tremendous turnaround. After completing her first semester, she has not only opened up more but she has also embraced her individuality/uniqueness with great confidence. Pearl school of modeling has taught her the basics of modeling: how to pose, walk the runway, fashion/style, makeup application, and much more. Students also have the opportunity to audition, and participate, in local fashion shows. Additionally, the students also learn business and entrepreneurial skills such as public speaking, creating a business, and how to promote your brand. She has learned not to place her dreams into one basket, but to create several streams of income. The program has already had a significant effect, and we look forward to continuing. No other modeling school/agency in the metro Atlanta area offers what Peal School of Modeling provides. Moreover, the price is extremely reasonable (I did my research). If you’re looking for an opportunity for your child, teen, or for yourself to get into the world of fashion, or if your looking to start a business and not sure how to begin, I highly recommend this program. Enroll ASAP because the classes fill up quickly.

I highly recommend this Academy for teenage girls and young adults. I have known Pearl for over 6 years. She has evolved so much. She is always adding things to the curriculum that helps the students become more well rounded and articulate. My daughter attended the academy. I saw her transform each year, always leveling up. The thing I appreciate most is that Pearl always hold the students accountable. She corrects out of love. She challenges the student to always do their best. One of her popular phrases is "Model the best you"! The young ladies learn so many things in addition to ripping the runway. They learn everything from beauty and skin care/tips, healthy eating, financial responsibility, entrepreneurship and the lists goes on.They attend casting calls, take college tours and also participate in an end of semester fashion show. My daughter started her skincare business at Pearl's. as an entrepreneurship project. She went on to graduate from the Academy as Validictorian, and she is now a licensed Esthetician with a large clientele. She was recently featured as a guest on Pearl's "Model Talk Tuesday's". This year, Pearl has added talent to the Academy's roster and guess who applied? Me, of course. So excited to be apart of such a winning team. Pearl is the best! She treats her students like daughters and sisters and I am proud to be a Sister and to share my daughter with Pearl! She was definitely a part of the village that helped mold and shape my daughter! Pearl is leaving a legacy and a mark in this world that cannot be erased!!

I love being a part of A Lady Named Pearl Leadership & Modeling Academy because it allowed me to become more comfortable and confident in my walk while also teaching me to be a strong leader with individuality. Being there taught me how to use modeling as a way of expression by enhancing my stride down a runway. Additionally, I’m thankful for being able to learn how to promote my personality in several different techniques thanks to Ms.Pearl. -India Neal Attending Georgia State University

Attending A Lady Named Pearl Leadership & Modeling Academy helped me gain my confidence and taught me skills that I still use on a daily. The academy is a great way for young girls to build social skills, start a business, or jump start their modeling career. It’s not just a “modeling school”, you eventually grow a relationship with your peers turning friendship into sisterhood.

My experience at ALNP was an awesome and unforgettable one. I was an international student so I attended classes online. However, it was nonetheless a thorough and fulfilling experience being a part of this noble academy. I could easily recommend it to anyone.

I enjoyed A Lady Named Pearl Leadership & Modeling Academy because we were introduced to the basics of leadership and modeling which included modeling history. Although being in person I feel would have been much better, I had some fun learning the proper walking techniques. Model Talk Tuesdays were interesting too- they gave me a chance to hear how a few people started their own successful businesses. I'm really hoping I can come in person for future sessions & hope to also gain a leadership big sister with future sessions. I like that Mrs. Pearl and the leadership team want us to all grow as young ladies.

ALNP FOUNDATION INC - TESTIMONIAL

I started my brand over 3 years ago and I’ve done shows in NYFW, LA and Atlanta. I’ve been looking for opportunities more on the funding/scholarship side and this one was perfect. Not only was I able to showcase my pieces, I received funding for it and joined a program centered around leadership skills. This is an awesome experience for a creative such as myself. - ALNP Fashion Design Grant Recipient, Azjure Azjuré Yah
