Hello everyone, my name is Nikeya Young (formerly Nikeya Green). I am currently the 2009 Mrs. Illinois Plus America (3rd Runner Up to the 2009 Mrs. Plus America) and I also reigned as the 2008 Miss Illinois Plus America (placed 4th Runner-Up) in the 2008 Miss Plus America Pageant that took place on July 5, 2008. I am currently being represented by the following companies:
*Non-Exclusive Reps*
- Jus4Entertainment
-X'Change Modeling I'm looking for opportunities in plus-size commercial/print/runway modeling, as well as hair magazine modeling and acting opportunities. I am looking to add some color and pizzaz to my portfolio so MUA's and photographer's send me your info and let's create a daring yet tasteful portfolio! I am not interested in ANY nude modeling, or anything related to sex, cigarettes, or alcohol. I am open to TFP/TFCD assignments as well. Some of my other talents are: singing (Christian/Gospel artist), songwriting, and background vocals.
