We were lucky to catch up with Ronald Fields recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Ronald thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Can you open up about a risk you’ve taken – what it was like taking that risk, why you took the risk and how it turned out?

Last year I was dealing with a few personal difficulties that had surfaced in my life. I wasn’t satisfied with my job, the lack of opportunity in my city or a relationship that I had maintained since college. As I began to think about my passion and the things that made me happy, my thoughts always led me back to my love for fashion, music, art, and modeling. The more I thought about it and visualized myself as a model, I began looking for opportunities to gain experience and exposure. I connected with a family member that had broken into the industry and was doing well. She told me about a few upcoming auditions that I should partake in, so I did. I continued to participate in fashion shows in my hometown of Cleveland, Ohio but I knew that I wanted more. Something inside of me knew that I needed to leave the city that I was born and raised in aka my comfort zone. I’m the beginning of October of last year (2022), I packed my car up and decided to take a risk and move to Atlanta all by myself and pursue my dreams and passion

Ronald , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

My name is Ronald Fields III. I’m 25 years young, born and raised out of Cleveland, Ohio. Since I was a kid I can vividly remember being surrounded by art in all forms. My parents would have me in the in the latest Jordan’s, cool outfits, music around the house, sports, my father and sisters would draw and play instruments so I was always surrounded by that artistic energy and knew I had the space to pursue and conquer anything I wanted to do. Fast forward some, my first fashion show ever was for my cousins brand and that was back in 2017. I loved the whole process and having an opportunity to be around other people with the same passion and also a space for me to be myself and express myself. I felt purpose and that I was important and I never let that feeling go. I was in college at that time and after that show, I continued on with school and didn’t pursue it like I should have but knew I wanted to do more around fashion and then in 2022, got back into modeling and did 8 fashion shows in a 7 month period.

What sets me apart from others I feel like is my Charisma, my energy, my look and just my vision in general. I feel like I have a lot of advantages for a male model with my image and I want to help bring other peoples visions to life. My passion for fashion is unmatched. I’m most proud of myself for just being authentic and taking risk and staying down and trusting my own journey. Seeing is believing and I’m setting an example for myself everyday. What I want people to know most about me is that I’m a genuine guy who just wants to help people in anyway I can, especially with fashion. There are so many talented people and creatives and I feel that I have a special gift to share with the world and I want to collaborate with so many people and travel and create timeless work to therapeutically help the world

Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?

I feel that I have a passion for fashion and nothing can change that. It was instilled in me and it’s in my DNA. I’ve always cared about my image overall and always wanted to express myself through fashion. Now that I’m a model and starting to get the ball rolling, it’s an addictive feeling and my opportunities are limitless. My goal/mission at this stage for me is to be well known and respected in the industry and honestly to help as many people as I can with their ideas and bring them to life. I feel that I was gifted with a special talent (mind, body, and soul) and it can change not only my life and my family’s life but hundreds of thousands of people. Modeling and creating art around fashion is something I would do everyday, all day and I’ve envisioned/manifested myself being a big time superstar that can change the life of others and create timeless work/art. That’s what drives me right now.

What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?

To me, the most rewarding aspect of being an artist/creative is knowing that you are the centerpiece. You are the standard. You set your own bar. You can control your narrative and story. Having that freedom and creative space, whether people understand it or not. Art isn’t meant for everyone to understand or interpret the same way. It’s no code and really no limitations. I don’t feel boxed in or that there isn’t anything I can’t do. It’s liberating and seeing and hearing peoples reactions to my pictures or work is something that never gets old. It’s a gratifying feeling that not everyone get to experience and I will continue to evolve
