Why This Campaign?

  • Key Challenge: The modeling industry is fraught with challenges, including exploitation, inconsistent work opportunities, lack of proper representation, and an overwhelming focus on physical appearance. Models often struggle with maintaining their mental and physical well-being while navigating an industry that offers little protection or business education. Many models are unaware of their rights, making them vulnerable to unfair contracts and financial instability.

  • Current Landscape: While there are modeling agencies and programs that focus on talent representation, few offer the comprehensive business and wellness education that models need to truly thrive. As the industry continues to evolve with the rise of social media and self-representation, models must learn to manage their own careers, build their personal brands, and protect themselves legally and financially.
