We recently connected with Shanice Renee’ and have shared our conversation below.
Shanice , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Did you always know you wanted to pursue a creative or artistic career? When did you first know?
I first realized I wanted to be a model/actor/creator when I was 16. I used to watch America’s next top model with Tyra Banks, she definitely inspired me. The show definitely gave me a lot knowledge, tips, and things to be aware of throughout this journey. I also watched fashions shows, I loved fashion. Something about it brought me Joy. My mother also inspired me because modeling was a dream of hers and I love that she gets to live it through me. I make sure she gets to enjoy ever moment with me.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
Hi my name is Shanice Renee
I’m a model/actress/creator, my journey hasn’t been all peaches and cream but my journey has gotten me here where I am now. I started my journey off in high school when a big opportunity came along. I was offer a deal to become a lip model for a cosmectic line, I wasn’t able to take that deal. But my mom made sure to keep me inspired and to keep going not to let my dream die. Modeling isn’t as easy as it seems, it’s take Strong Self esteem, big confidence, being able to take criticism and Understand it will help to make you better. Learning the ins and out is another key part. Once you learn to master your craft, create balance, know your worth, and never let people mistreat you or make you feel less valued. You’ve mastered a key part of making it. At this point in my journey, I’m a versatile model and I can do everything. My acting skills are building stronger and stronger. My creativity is getting better and I love helping others and passing along knowledge i different have when first entering the industry.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding is manifesting goals and watching them come to life. When you work hard, have long restless days/nights, but constantly pour positivity into your life. And when everything you’re speaking into existence literally comes in the blink of an eye. That’s truly the most rewarding aspect.
Have any books or other resources had a big impact on you?
Books that have help to manage and thinking would have to be Off Balance: Getting Beyond the Work-Life Balance Myth to Personal and Professional Satisfaction by Matthew Kelly and Positive Affirmation Prayer Book: Affirmation and Prayers to Comfort and Bless You throughout the Day as You Meditate the Wonderful Messages of God
