Chanel Iman

My goal is to be a household name, and when I do that, I want to help other girls become models, and maybe even launch a fashion line with my mom, like Beyonce did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye, and it's always been a dream of hers. ”

Let me say this: I think men are a full-time job, and I'm young and I already have one job. I'm just focused on my career. ”

No babies for me until I'm in my 30s! I'm focused on my career right now. I can't even take care of my dog. ”

Don't be afraid to express yourself through fashion! ”

I don't want to be known as the black model. I want to be recognized as Chanel Iman, a personality. ”

We always had 'Vogue' in our house. But, when I was around 12, my Mom finally took me seriously about modeling and put a stack of magazines in front of me, then told me to study all the poses. The ones I loved the most were in 'Vogue.' ”

I am comfortable with my body and embrace who I am. I love to work it. ”

When I was a little girl, I lived for modeling and fashion - I used to love, love, love modeling. ”

Accept yourself, love yourself. ”

You learn to be comfortable in your own skin, and your body changes throughout life, so you can't sweat the small stuff. ”
