One part of that is developing and growing my social media reach and presence. Because I only post content that I am proud, and I post consistently. I am constantly pulling in new followers. The more followers I get, the more opportunities I tend to attract. I look forward to continuing to find ways to create engaging content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as long-term goals are concerned, I see myself using my online presence by converting my followers into customers. With a natural entrepreneurial spirit, I thoroughly enjoy providing value while being compensated for doing so. I also see myself booking more modeling gigs and getting cast for some acting roles as productions resume. I am utilizing YouTube as a platform to brand myself as well, expanding my loc maintenance business (IG: @styledbynaj) and other plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advice:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"828\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/Najma-2-828x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/Najma-2-828x1024.jpg 828w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/Najma-2-243x300.jpg 243w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/Najma-2-768x950.jpg 768w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/Najma-2-1242x1536.jpg 1242w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/Najma-2-830x1026.jpg 830w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/Najma-2-230x284.jpg 230w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/Najma-2-350x433.jpg 350w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/Najma-2-480x594.jpg 480w, https:\/\/news.ftcpublications.com\/core\/wp-content\/uploads\/Najma-2.jpg 1656w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My complete advice to aspiring models is too extensive to say here, but I will boil it all down in two words: quality and consistency. If you believe in yourself and you are consistently working towards creating and putting out high quality work, people are going to notice you. You don&#8217;t want to get lumped in with the group of models who are constantly posting raw and watermarked images (reflecting that they didn&#8217;t pay for final retouches), post blurry low quality photos and are willing to shoot with anyone with a camera. Hold yourself to industry quality standards for your content and professionalism and you are bound to come across like-minded individuals who will help you along your journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Given a Swahili name meaning &#8220;Star&#8221; by her parents at birth,&nbsp;is an aspiring model and actress, with a love and natural talent for dance\/choreography and a gift of hair art as a Loctician.
