Kelly Glow - 2024/25 Slay Queen
ALNP Academy: What advice would you give to future Slay Queens and aspiring entrepreneurs looking to follow in your footsteps?
Kelly Glow: To follow my path one must hold fast to their dreams, not give up on themselves, and hold themselves accountable until they realize their dreams. That is how I arrived at this point in my life. Ever since I was 14 years old I’ve wanted to model. I used to read every issue of Seventeen magazine and imagine myself in the photos. I begged my mother to take me to Barbizon Modeling School, but we couldn’t afford the tuition. As years went on it seemed I would never become a model, however, I always kept hope. I always took care of myself mentally, spiritually, and physically. Now the industry has changed and there are many more opportunities for models of all backgrounds. I am literally beginning my career as a mature model and I am nearly a half century old.
Sunjori Chambers - 2023-24 Slay Queen
Pearl Magazine: What advice can you give girls that are looking to have more confidence and SLAY?
Sunjori: The advice that I would give to young girls who are looking to build more confidence and SLAY would be that it truly does start with you.
Yes, your people around you will encourage you, but if you don’t do the inner work, the journey will not be easy. Try new hobbies; stepping outside of your comfort zone is the biggest step to gaining confidence. Staying comfortable can hinder growth, and without it, you won't be able to conquer the things you really want in life. Always find ways to add value to yourself, and the confidence will come along the way.
