Like the natural beauty of The Bahamas, the beauty of the people extends far beyond the borders of Nassau. So with that in mind we traveled to the nation’s second city to find this month’s feature Ms Dwanae Thurston. This 19 yr old model, singer, dancer and actress sits down with us to tell us more about herself and her love for the industry!
So Dwanae what do you think best describes your personality?
I’ve got a glowing personality, but, I would say humble, innovative, ambitious, positive and driven. I am easy going love socializing & meeting new people it doesn’t hurt to live a little!
What first inspired you to get into modeling/acting? …we heard you sing as well ?
The talents I possess are gifts from the man up above. I mean dancing is nowhere in my family’s genetics, music surely is though; my great grandfather played in a band although I never Met Him Or Probably It’s This Jamaican Blood I’ve Got (Lol) Thank God For Them Regardless. The Modeling Aspect Of My Life Arose From My Style, Like I Said People Are Drawn To Me Naturally But Somehow Most Of Them Were Photographers And They All Would Request A Shoot. So From There I Carried It On Nothing Can Alter Destiny! Yes I Do Sing, Im A Freshman In That Field. I Have Gift, A Vocal Is Trainer Helping Me Hit Those Notes Right And There Are A Few Projects I’m Working On In The Island Dude Records Studio In Freeport Bahamas.
When people approach you what is their biggest misconception of you?
The Biggest Misconception Would Have To Be That I’m Stuck Up, But Very Few People Would Actually Have The Guts To Approach me. It’s Not Until A Proper Introduction Takes Place For Them To Realize How Down To Earth I Am. Like I Always Say Do Not Judge A Book By Its Cover.
So if eLIFE242 was to ask you out, how do we get it right?
Let’s Just Say Personality And Presentation Is Key The First buy ambien with prescription online Impression Is A Lasting One, Be Yourself Humor Humor Humor! I Love To Laugh, And Seek Intellectual Compatibility Professionalism And Passion.
