We recently connected with Kiska Boswell and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Kiska thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.

I would say I am self taught, but of course the internet influences everyone. With modeling there’s so many factors to keep in mind. I basically bought myself a camera, a camera stand, and put my camera on a timer and just kept taking photos of myself. My biggest obstacle with modeling is maintaining your appearance at all times so you’re always ready for a shoot. There’s weeks that I refuse to do any collaborations or photo shoots because I’m letting my nails heal, or something of that nature. My environments I would say had to be my biggest setbacks. I was given many opportunities that I let pass me by due to me being in a toxic environment. I’m still learning so much more, always perfecting my craft.

Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

I go by Coexoe (CoCo) and I’m an up and coming model in Miami. I started modeling in New York City about 4 years ago, mainly because I realized I didn’t have very many hobbies other than the typical answer “going to the beach.” I was coming out of a very toxic relationship as well, so modeling allowed me to focus on myself. It pushes me to go to the gym, to eat and sleep correctly (still working on that!), to take care of my skin, and to just overall love myself! I provide brand promo, I’m a video vixen, body art, Tiktok collaborations (comedy), basically your typical influencer. I’m very proud of how far I have come with my overall online presence. I began live streaming and growing into an Internet personality because I was very lonely. I felt there was no one to talk to or to lean on, so I began online streaming around the same time I began modeling. Online streaming makes me feel like people care about what im saying, no matter how important. Which is important to me because like I said, I was lonely, and I felt like I had no voice. Now I have 132k followers on Instagram and 53k followers on TikTok, and I am so blessed and appreciate everyone that supports me and my craft.

How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?

I would say, when I began modeling I had no boundaries. I would say I was experimenting, seeing what I was and wasn’t comfortable with. I definitely had an onlyfans phase! But after I started to gain a little online popularity, I decided that that’s not the route I want to be remembered by. So I shut the page down a couple years back and I now focus on real modeling.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

It did not happen overnight, that’s for sure. I was always the funny girl online, sharing and making funny memes, so people naturally gravitated towards my Facebook. I will admit, joining OnlyFans in 2019 boosted my online presence by a lot. It came with love, but more backlash. I got called trash, and many other really awful names. Although my content was solo, my ego took a hit but was also blown up at the same time. I don’t think of it as a mistake at all. It taught me a lot. I learned many lessons from that phase that are assisting me in thriving now. My best advice is to EXPLORE YOUR CRAFT! Figure out your personal do’s and don’ts and never be afraid to change them. It’s your life, live it the way you want.
