I aspire to Inspire
Words by Saje Nicole
I am Saje Nicole, a Haitian American model who shuttles between Los Angeles and Miami. Many may not know this, but Miami is where I started modeling.
I came here at the age of three with my mother and father (both from Haiti) looking for a better life. My mother always wanted me to be a nurse or a doctor, but I had something else in mind. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to model, but it was hard to find “my place.” I did not necessarily look like a successful model, but all I needed was patience.
