Hello everyone, my name is Nikeya Young (formerly Nikeya Green). I am currently the 2009 Mrs. Illinois 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 have also had the distinction of being chosen as one of the 24 Signature Models for the Chicago Real Women Summit. I am currently being represented by the following companies:
- 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.

The casting call went great wish you could have been there. I'll let you know when the fashion show is so you can come if you'd like. You can also send the designer your info and photos and tell her you couldn't make it cuz she's always looking for models.

You're welcome!
Ya' know what Nikeya? After what I went through recently, I have a better respect towards women that tend to keep a positive image than those that leave nothing to the imagination. I understand if women want to let it all hang out, but be honest with oneself and don't misuse the word CLASSY. Some should learn to be sexy, but be tasteful about it as well.
Letting it all the goodies hang out for the world to see...is NOT classy!
Talk 2 u later CLASSY DIVA !
