In Atlanta, it really seems that every beautiful girl’s dream is to be a model. Flashing lights and beautiful scenery make it possible to make those dreams come true. The opportunities are endless! There is always a budding photographer looking for their chance to shine, so naturally, they partner with an on the rise model with star quality and create a solid brand partnership. There is always an innovative event coordinator waiting for the right face to host events and become iconic. The aspiring model in Atlanta can always find an avenue to receive exposure.
About a year and a half ago, I came across a beautiful spirit while recruiting for my female marketing company, Zodiak Girlz, based right here in Atlanta. Milan Jordan stood out and her looks instantly grabbed my attention. I had to meet her this exotic beauty with the alluring, captivating appeal.
One summer night in 2013, I held an orientation for the selected models at popular night spot, Signature Lounge on Trinity Ave. Milan was one of the 16 models that attended the event. She stood out instantly. Milan was friendly, high energy, positive minded, helpful, and driven. I knew she would go far as a model. I looked forward to working with her.
Today, Milan Jordan lives in California. She is persistent with the pursuit of her life’s calling. She is certain that she will become a household face and a role model for other young women looking to establish their careers. Over a year later, Milan is still working hard. Her values and goals are concrete and she cannot be deterred. I actually caught up with Milan and asked her a few questions, and in this interview, she has revealed secrets to other rising models. I am proud to present to you, The Milan Jordan, model On The Rise.
