From Haiti to the world of fashion

Nita Flores’ journey began in Haiti and led her to a fulfilling life in the United States. At the age of 20 she immigrated to the U.S and quickly learned English and adapted to American culture. Just two years later she joined the United States Navy as an Airman Recruit and climbed the ranks, retiring after 23 years of honorable service. Alongside her military career, Nita advanced her education, earning a bachelor’s in nursing and later a master’s degree while raising two daughters as a single mother. Today, she serves as a professor at a local nursing school.

After retiring from the military and her daughters away in college, Nita, a recent winner at the Magnifique Showcase organized by former “America’s Next Top Model” contestant Victoria Henley, was determined to pursue her lifelong passions for acting and modeling and writing. From a young age, she was always captivated by the magic of storytelling and the power of visual expression. Now an empty nester, Nita is ready to make her mark in the entertainment industry. She brings a unique blend of cultural influences and experiences to her craft. With unwavering dedication and a thirst for knowledge, she has honed her modeling skills through some modeling training with exploring talent and Nine9 and practical experience. She studied acting under David Thompson, a renowned acting coach. 

Nita always had a deep passion for modeling, she is fascinated by the art of fashion, and loves the opportunity to express herself through different styles and aesthetics. Whether it’s strutting down the runway or posing for the camera, she embraces the opportunity to bring life to the designer’s vision.
