Ericka Howard, 34, has learned to shut out the naysayers.
“Modeling is my passion as well as being able to show the world it is perfectly okay to be imperfect. For as long as i could remember i have been told you will not make it as a model with your self-done tattoos. You hear a lot of things and even start to believe them at times. That kind of talk inspired me to push harder,” said Ericka.
Persevering, Ericka said she has walked in Victoria Henley’s Magnifique Spring showcase and Cassandra Lang’s Rx Runway Swim Week Miami.
“I would like to inspire everyone to love themselves and their body’s the way they are. Everyone one is beautiful, you just has to embrace what you have, live life to the fullest and never give up,” said Ericka.
