Not Just Ripping Runways She Blazes Them - Ms Speedy Marshall

Straight out of Brooklyn,NY with a little bit of  TnT this 22 y\o lady named Speedy is turning up runway's at all your local runway shows. I first came across Ms Speedy at the John Jay Fashion Show a few weeks ago. All the models were good but she stood out from her walk to her poses she demanded your attention and made you almost forget all the other models in the show. Speedy has been modeling for four years now. While she would love to make this her profession she currently works at a non for profit organization that employs youth and provides after-school and internships for kids ages 14-24 but would love to pursue modeling full time. This young lady has had a knack for fashion since she was younger  she recalls as a teenager cutting up her boyfriends shirts and designing them to fit her so she also has a passion for design. Ms Marshall attended Delhi University and studied Liberal Arts with a concentration in athletics. I asked this young lady how she came up with the name "Speedy" a question I know she has been asked millions of times as she laughs as an incoming freshman she had a mandatory summer school class before she entered in the fall fresh out of junior high a "tom-boy' who ran track and played basketball, her 2nd period class in summer school was gym and she wanted to play b-ball with the guys, but of course they denied her because of her being a female so never one to let a situation get her down she decided to take up volley ball as the summer progressed volley ball got intense but everyday basketball made its way onto the volley ball court,one day the ball interrupted her volleyball game and the guys asked her to throw it back but instead Speedy threw it out the gym and said...that's for not letting me play!(and if you ever see her runway show or meet her you can imagine how I am at the moment the sass in her voice) lol....these super huge juniors and seniors literally chased her around the school for the remainder of the period at the end of class they still hadn't caught her ...and ever since she' been Speedy! All the sass and energy of the sports side of her still shines through with all her pictures and her runway walk. Just like in high school where speedy faced sexist guys on the basketball team I asked her what challenges her in the modeling industry and she states is the constant scams many folks try to run but she accredits her mom for "NOT RAISING A FOOL" besides scams Ms Speedy faces what most young girls face especially in the Caribbean or African American community FOOD lol but she has learned to eat in moderation. she herself says "GOD KNOWS I LOVE FOOD! but its all about eating in Moderation and wanting to eat healthy. " Within the next 5 years Speedy she's herself following her moms advice she told me her mother always told her "There is a big ole world out there baby girl...go head and BRING MAMA BACK SOME OF IT! " and she plans on doing just that by inspiring young ladies and touching people with her talent as well as genuine personality(which if you ever meet her you will experience first hand) getting signed to a model agency or possibly being a Cover Girl.(which she most definitely has the smile for)Never short on dreams I'm sure this young lady will score and conquer anything that comes her way or she puts her mind to.......And remember if you see her YOU HEARD ALL THE HYPE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
