What’s the best way for influencers to increase their number of followers and become more relevant?
I think the best way for influencers to grow is to collaborate with brands and other influencers! Keeping your name out there and showing your quality of content for brands is always best! Just keep putting yourself out there! It will pay off in the end.

I have been so blessed to work with some killer brands! A few I still have on my radar are Savage X Fenty, Alo Yoga, Luli Fama.

What are your absolute best tips for taking a great Instagram photo?
Clear quality is a game changer! And having a unique flair or style to all of your photos is best. I have three cameras, Photoshop and Lightroom, and the latest iPhone. I am always making sure I have the tools to produce quality content! But I would say the most important part is just being yourself and showing your personality in your photos.

Where do you draw your inspiration from?
I’d say I draw it from other large influencers and models! Cindy Prado, Cindy Crawford, Kara Del Toro, Nicole English, just to name a few. I am constantly looking at beautiful pages and drawing inspiration from them.

What’s your best piece of advice for growing a personal brand?
Collaborate! Reach out to likeminded individuals, help them in their growth, and let them help you. I think the more love you show to other people, the more you get in return! So build relationships, and keep putting yourself out there.
