We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Amoi Wynn. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Amoi below.
Alright, Amoi thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Do you think your parents have had a meaningful impact on you and your journey?
Where can I start? My father has always been a business man. He’s taught me everything I know. He’s had his own business doing security for various artists such as Lil Baby, Cardi B, and etc. My mother went the more traditional route and choose college and she is currently a registered nurse and has been for over 20 years now. My father has impacted my career by being an example of taking a risk, and making your dreams come true by pursuing what you want with entrepreneurship. He has since passed in 2020 due to COVID-19, but everything he has done in his 49 years of life I can take with me forever. My mother has also been a light in my life. for not only supporting my independent dreams, but for pushing me with my education.
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 background and context?
My name is Amoi Wynn. I currently am a signed international model with MMG, and other local agencies in Miami. I love being a muse in brand photoshoots, music videos, album covers, or other projects. I got into modeling while I was in middle school 2015 and have been doing it ever since. I was able to continue my modeling journey due to consistency, networking, and keeping my portfolio updated throughout the years. I think what sets me apart from others is not limting myself or keeping myself in a box. I’m most proud of the effort and dedication my team has put into me when I did not believe in myself, and the friends that constantly resposted something I was working on and their encouraging words.
Is there something you think non-creatives will struggle to understand about your journey as a creative?
I think the most common misconception is working for yourself is the “easy” way out. Especially when you’re a creative or an artist. Most of the times, you’re basically working for free, i.e exposure. You have to try to convince people of your worth when they debate the price, and proving that you’re the right person for the job. However, it is the most rewarding. When you can not only make your own schedule, but be able to be an inspiration that you can pursure your wildest dreams and make a stable income depsite this economy that we’re in now. The best advice I can give is that when you really love doing something, please don’t give up. Keep your vision, and block out the naysayers.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
The best flashback I can think of is when I lost my father my last semester of college at Florida Atlantic University. I thank God that I was able to make it through that. The last nights and early mornigns in the hospital when I didn’t know if he was going to make it the next day or not, and having an exam at 8:00am the next day was an absolutely horrible experience. My father was the most amazing man inside and out. He would be proud of where I am today.
