About

A Lady Named Pearl is a lifestyle brand that blends beauty, culture, and empowerment. 

A Lady Named Pearl was born from my own journey of self-discovery and transformation. As a shy teenager, I struggled with confidence until I enrolled in a modeling course at fifteen. That experience changed my life, it taught me posture, presence, and self-assurance. I began to see myself not as a follower, but as a leader.

That transformation opened doors I never imagined. I went on to tour as a runway model with the legendary Ebony Fashion Fair  2003–2004 season, traveling to over 100 cities across the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean. In 2008, after earning my MBA from Clark Atlanta University, I worked as a real estate analyst for Walmart, but soon realized my true calling was to empower others to walk boldly in their purpose.

In 2011, I became an adjunct professor teaching Leadership & Professional Development at Clark Atlanta University.

In 2012, I released my debut album Transformation, a musical reflection of self-growth and empowerment. Two years later, I founded the A Lady Named Pearl Modeling & Leadership Academy, our flagship program, and in 2015, I established the A Lady Named Pearl Foundation Inc., the nonprofit arm of my mission.

In 2018, we were featured on TedX for our innovative platform of utilizing modeling, to help girls become leaders. 

Through these platforms, I’ve dedicated my life to helping girls and women build confidence, develop leadership skills, and pursue entrepreneurship. Whether through modeling, music, education, or mentorship, every aspect of the A Lady Named Pearl brand is designed to help individuals discover their purpose, lead with grace, and shine from within.
