Summary

After sharing a clip of Tyra Banks telling a America’s Next Top Model contestant to eat a burger without the bread, Alex was sent a DM. The message was from that very model, Keenyah Hill, who had been essentially told to eat less by Tyra on cycle 4 of ANTM. Keenyah, 19 at the time, had also been compared to an elephant by the judges, and edited in a way that exaggerated how much and how often she was eating. Keenyah wanted to share her version of events, how being on ANTM affected her life and what it taught her about the real world of modelling. Now a pose coach and model mentor, Keenyah teaches aspiring models how to be confident in themselves and let that confidence carry them through.
