We were lucky to catch up with Vonetta ( VOXX ) Grant recently and have shared our conversation below.
Vonetta ( VOXX ), thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Do you wish you had waited to pursue your creative career or do you wish you had started sooner?
I absolutely wish I started sooner, I was always distracted by things that didn’t matter that I was so fixated on people pleasing and making sure everyone around me was good aside from myself abandoning my own needs trying to make something of myself in life. My “family” always wanted control of my next move in life forcing me to goto medical school never even seeing interest in the creative needs of my career for life. Moving forward in life from these time frames (2016-2020) , now that I’m older with more life wisdom and experience I’m so grateful it all happened right on time because I never gave up on my dream of modeling and showing how beautiful and limitless my mind is when I create from all of my emotions and pain that I transmuted into power and success.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
Hey Guys! So my name is Vonetta Grant, I go by Voxx now, I’m 25 years old, born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada. The second oldest daughter of 5. Ima Gemini Sun, Capricorn moon & Leo rising. I’m into Modeling ,producing creative visuals of myself, being a video vixen, I’ve been in a few music videos, I enjoy writing poetry, writing in my journal, writing love songs lol. I’ve been singing, dancing, designing fashion since I was a child. On the fashion side of me I love walking runway / catwalk. I enjoy Yoga, meditation & healing my inner child.
I got into the modeling world because I believe I have a body type and great attributes that I’m so confidently in love with that I think needs to be seen in society’s beauty norms & standards. Ima a curvy girl who saw what the model field looks like in Las Vegas and nobody looks like me so why would I not put myself in the game ?
I did it alone, just my brain and God. I was misunderstood and counted out. Nobody took me serious, but it didn’t matter because I believed in myself and took myself serious. . My faith got me along way. I poured so much of my oozing love that I turned myself internally inside out embodying the goddess energy I hold within shining outwardly & dominated my own game with myself. It has and always will be me vs me. I’ve always loved loving my authentic genuine self outloud. So I don’t try to hide any versions of me.
Being a model you have to stay disciplined with what you eat, taking care of your skin , body, beauty and bones. I stay focused by staying grounded & meditating with a lot of daily stretching. I have to have a clear mind to create every visual. I have to be grounded to make important decisions for my path and listen to my guidance and sharpen my discernment in everything choice I make.
I’m proud of becoming a model full time. I’m full time on playboy live streaming, but I’m full time creating my own content days , content shoots, providing my own creative services of creative direction , stylist for shoots, theater acting , when I want to work behind the scenes of music video I’m usually directing or editing and when I’m in front of the camera being the muse I love being sexy and showing my energy in full force. I can also teach people how to heal their inner child and to heal their deepest wounds and trauma. I want to teach women how to be their dark feminine goddess self.
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
After working at the biggest dispensary in Las Vegas with a giant red ball infront of it from 2020-2022 I was experiencing so much character defamation behind what I was doing outside in my personal time making extra money because we all know one job is not enough in America. . I was being sexually harassed at work and intentionally targeted out to so the company could run me out of working there. I was being threatened by Human Resources. I was being so harassed everyday to the point where it affected my mental and emotional health imagine being Gaslite, manipulated and harassed every day in a cycle at work. . They had to change a portion of the employee handbook because of me due to how much gossip was surrounding me they sent out gossip memos how harmful gossip could be to other people. Human Resources failed me twice. Held meetings and nothing changed. So during the last meeting I literally quit and chose myself. I knew mentally it wasn’t safe for me to work there anymore so I took the biggest pivot ( leap of faith ) into my modeling career and did my deep dive and now it all payed off.
How did you build your audience on social media?
I have had my instagram since 2013 in my freshman year of highschool, I’ve always used it for my personal enjoyment and I still did that with my creative journey process, I have always remained true to myself and my morals and truest authenticity, just always be yourself and know yourself well enough that’s in alignment with your character. Don’t hide your personality from your audience:)
